Hosting multiple sites on a single droplet is absolutely possible, follows best practices and should not have any negative affect on SEO. This is generally done with a virtualhost configuration in your web server. This way the web server checks what domain is being requested and serves the correct content.

In this guide, we'll demonstrate how to configure Apache virtual hosts on an Ubuntu 14.04 VPS.
