I’m looking to consolidate my dev works into DigitalOcean. I have multiple demo sites (Wordpress, PHP, Nodejs) that I’ll need to use when I show clients samples.
What’s the best way to approach this? Is this a nginx solution?
I wish to have my wordpress or even static sites hosted like this.
For example
- https://www.asd.com/demo1 -> Shows Demo1 Wordpress Site
- https://www.asd.com/demo2 -> Shows Demo2 Nodejs App
- https://www.asd.com/demo3 -> Shows Demo3 PHP Site
I don’t foresee a lot of traffic coming or even databases that increase overtime. I also wish to password protect this sites. For example only each pair of credentials can access each demos.
Should I use nginx to manage the domains and set passwords from there? Any advices or documentation can help.

I would use a subdomain.
You can use regex in your nginx conf setup to make this pretty dynamic;
server_name ~^((?<subdomain>.*)\.)?domain.tld$;
Then;
root /var/www/$subdomain/www;
