Hi @Zulqarnainkhan

You can host multiple domains on the same IP.

I have never used VestaCP, but it should be pretty straight forward from what I can read in this tutorial. Simply click the WEB menu and click the green + button. https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-vestacp-and-set-up-a-website-on-ubuntu-14-04#step-3-—-setting-up-a-website

And one more thing @hansen my website had SSL activated over its domain on the old server and its still active, i am putting the website in public_html there is another folder public_shtml, that one is for SSL or i dont know what, should i be putting the website in that folder?

@hansen can you please tell me with what did you or how did you checked the nameservers?
