How to best install two wordpress sites side by side on the same Droplet (I Gg RAM, 30 Gg SSD) ?

Posted August 30, 2017 2.9k

WordPress Getting Started CMS Ubuntu 16.04

I’m just getting started, I haven’t done anything yet, not even created my Droplet?

I want to make sure I’m doing right the first time. I’ll be running a 10.$/m droplet (1 Gg RAM, 30 Gg SSD, 2 TB transfer).

Please note, I don’t want to do a wordpress multi-site installation.

Thanks for any help,

Denis Paul

Just create different directories in the /var/www folder with two separate vhosts with different mysql databases.

2 separate vhosts and 2 separate mysql databses; so, I guess you’re saying I can’t do it with the Wordpress on 16.04 one-click app, I’ll have to first install Ubuntu 16.04 and then proceed to create differents folders, different vhosts and differents mysql databases?

Is that right?

  Yes unless you do want to use multisite.

  Since I’m not familiar with server configuration and management, will I be able to install PHPMyAdmin later on?

  Yes you can but I would recommend against using phpmyadmin itself on any instance.

  You should learn mysql and manage your databases yourself which is much safer, since you’re using wordpress it should be simple just to use mysql syntax to create a database which should be dead simple, if you need help just search how to make a database in mysql-server.
