I tried this guide (https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles/how-to-set-up-multiple-wordpress-sites-using-multisite) but I can’t figure out how to set different domains.
I also prefer having separate Wordpress installations.
Should I just copy Wordpress into different folders (e.g. /var/www/blog1, /var/www/blog2) and then configure multiple sites on Apache?
Thanks.

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:
wget
command:wget wordpress.org/latest.zip
unzip latest.zip
/var/www/
folder:mv wordpress /var/www/your_site.com
chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/your_site.com
sudo cp /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf /etc/apache2/sites-available/your_site.conf
sudo a2ensite
sudo apachectl -t
Syntax OK
reload Apache:sudo systemctl reload apache2
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;
Hope that this helps. Regards, Bobby

I want to install 5-10 different wordpress websites with diferent domains .could you do it for me.and what wuld you charge for that <br>
“Should I just copy Wordpress into different folders (e.g. /var/www/blog1, /var/www/blog2) and then configure multiple sites on Apache?” <br> <br>Yes, exaclty. I do the same with my Drupal sites here on DO, and at work on our dedicated servers with a mix of Drupal, Wordpress, Joomla and static sites.
Download this plugin: <a href=“http://wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-mu-domain-mapping”>WordPress MU Domain Mapping</a> <br> <br>However, if you want separate WordPress installs, then you should not be using WP Multisite; and simply install separate WordPress installs in different subfolders.
