Hi, does anyone know how to host multiple wordpress domains on the same droplet ?
At one point I managed to add a 2nd domain (wordpress site) on my existing droplet that already had an existing domain, using a tutorial found online but I can’t find it anymore. Can you please point me in the right direction?
Thanks

How To Set Up Apache Virtual Hosts on Ubuntu 16.04
by Brennen Bearnes
The Apache web server is the most popular way to serve web content on the internet. Apache has the ability to serve multiple domains from a single server by using a mechanism called "virtual hosts". If a virtual host is configured correctly for each domain, the web server can correctly route traffic to the appropriate files based on the domain name requested. In this guide, we'll demonstrate how to configure Apache virtual hosts on an Ubuntu 16.04 server.

Hello, @kimchi

Yes can host multiple websites on a single droplet. The setup it’s not complicated and you basically need to setup different virtual hosts for the separate websites/domains

You can also check this article, although it’s deprecated, but you will get the general idea behind the setup/configuration:

This article is for Nginx and how to setup a server blocks (virtual hosts)

If you have any questions feel free to ask.
