I am using vestacp on my droplet running Ubuntu. I have two domain names that I’ve configured in Vestacp. Each domain is configured with the following nameservers at the registrar: for domain1.com > ns1.domain1.com, ns2.domain1.com for domain2.com > ns1.domain2.com, ns2.domain2.com
I have created two DNS entries in VestaCP, both pointing to the single ip address asigned to the droplet. Both entries have template : child-ns.
domain1.com also has SSL certicate configured. domain2.com does not have SSL.
Everything works perfect when accessing https://www.domain1.com Everything works perfect when accessing http://www.domain2.com
Let’s say I have a page on domain1.com called mypage. https://www.domain1.com/mypage The problem is, I can access that page through domain2 by adding https like so: https://www.domain2.com/mypage (even though this page does not exist on domain2)
Google somehow noticed this and it’s now indexing pages from domain1.com, under domain2.com which I don’t want. What am I doing wrong? How can I stop this behaviour?

Hey friend!
The best way is to enable SSL on both domain1 and domain2. Since VestaCP has LetsEncrypt built in, this should just be a check box away. If you have no SSL on domain2 then that means there is no matching virtual host for domain2 over port 443, causing requests to port 443 to default to the first available virtual host (which in this case is domain1).
