    WordPress Multisites will work, and is good for certain scenarios, but it has its own set of complexities..

    You might also set up Virtualhosts in apache. You can run as many websites as you want:

    I have a few different droplets that run a few Wordpress websites on each one. Works fine!

    How To Set Up Apache Virtual Hosts on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS

    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 14.04 VPS.
