I use vesta control panel for droplets that require multiple wordpress installs. It’s pretty simple to install and use. http://vestacp.com/ It only takes 3 commands to install and it’s free.

Hello,
what you would need to do is use Apache virtual hosts in order to be able to host multiple sites. To do that you could by following the steps from this guide on how to create new virtual hosts for each site:
https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-set-up-apache-virtual-hosts-on-ubuntu-16-04
At the end you would have multiple virtual hosts for each site and each virtual host would have different document root (the directory where the files of the site are stored at) for example:
Then in those directories, you could just upload your Wordpress files and install Wordpress there, that way you would have multiple sites on a single droplet. To do the Wordpress installation step you can follow these steps here:

Hope that this helps! Let me know if you have any questions.
