Can I host multiple websites on one droplet?
Yes, it is indeed possible to host multiple websites on a single Digital Ocean Droplet. This can be accomplished by utilizing different web servers and configuring virtual hosts. When setting up your Droplet, you will want to install a web server, such as Apache or Nginx, which will allow you to manage multiple domains or subdomains from one server instance.
When configuring virtual hosts, you will need to specify the domain name and directory for each website within the web server's configuration files. This way, requests to different domains will be routed appropriately to serve the correct content from the designated directories. It is also essential to ensure that your Droplet has adequate resources, such as CPU, memory, and disk space, to handle the traffic and demands of multiple websites.
Keep in mind that you will need to manage the DNS settings for each domain to point them to the IP address of your Droplet. For further details on setting up multiple sites, one can refer to the Digital Ocean community tutorials which provide step-by-step guidance on this topic.
