Hi everybody, I’m really new to VPS and only have some experience with CPanel, so maybe my question is stupid, but I read every tutorial available, and I still can figure out how to solve my problem.
I want to install two WordPress websites on the same droplet with Ubuntu 16.04.01. I was suggested to use VestaCP to manage it, and somehow I succeeded in installing one of the websites. Now I want to go for the second one.
Here’s what I’ve done so far: -installed VestaCP -created one domain and one DB for one of the sites -installed WordPress in the public_html folder using FileZilla -exported to the new WordPress installation the website (files and database) using a plugin called Wp All-In-One Migration
Now I am stuck: could you please help me understand what should I do to install the other website? Where should I put it?
Thanks!

You can add new domains by logging in to VestaCP, clicking on Web, and then finally clicking on the green + icon. Each domain that you create will have a home directory created for it below the home directory of the user you’re logged in as.
For instance, if you’re logged in as admin, this users home directory is:
/home/admin
and each domain that you create as that user will be located in:
/home/admin/web
So, for example, if you created domain01.com as the admin user, that domains home directory would be:
/home/admin/web/domain01.com
… and you’d want to upload your files (i.e. WordPress) to:
/home/admin/web/domain01.com/public_html
Once your domain is setup and you’ve uploaded your files to the proper directory, you would then need to create a database for your WordPress instance.
From the VestCP control panel, you’d look back to the top navigation where you clicked on Web and instead click on DB, click the green + icon, and fill out the details for the database you want to create. You’ll use that information when you run the installer for WordPress.
