Hi there, You could follow the steps from this video on how to host multiple WordPress websites on the same server with Apache Virtual Hosts: Essentially, what needs to happen is: Download a new copy of WordPress with the wget command: wget wordpress.org/latest.zip After that extract the files unzip latest.zip Then move the files to the /var/www/ folder: mv wordpress /var/www/<^>your_site.com<^> Then set the owner of the file to the Apache2 user: chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/<^>your_site.com<^> After that copy the existing Apache config: sudo cp /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf /etc/apache2/sites-available/<^>your_site<^>.conf Then enable the new site: sudo a2ensite Run a configtest: sudo apachectl -t If you get Syntax OK reload Apache: sudo systemctl reload apache2 Then create a new MySQL database and username. To create the database first access MySQL: mysql Then run the following queries: CREATE DATABASE wp_site; CREATE USER 'wp_site'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'use_secure_password_here'; GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON wp_site.* TO 'wp_site'@'%' WITH GREANT OPTION; Finally, access the site via your web browser to finish the installation. Hope that this helps.Regards,Bobby

just put the same ip like A - @ -> 12.34.56.789 and A - WWW - 12.34.56.789 on 2 domains? Yes. I would create the following records: @ A 12.34.56.789www CNAME @ The only difference being the use of a CNAME instead of an A record for your www subdomain. This way should you ever need to point your domain to a different IP you will only have to change the @ record for each domain.
