Apache2 on Ubuntu

[Shambala12]

I'm in progress of making my own portfolio for collage. I've got a few sites which I want to host seperatly so for those who know Apache2, how do you host multiple websites on one single IP.

If it's just static pages, you'd be better off with Nginx. Else:

Its easiest to do it on nginx. You can do it with Apache, and if you've already used Apache a few times before you should use that.

The way I use..... if your feeling adventurous: (Probably not worth it depending on what you want to do)

• I use Dokku to manage several different websites on one server, using different domains.
  
• This uses git to easily update the files running on the server.
  
• Automatically sets up everything for you
  
• Probably not worth it if your just hosting static files.
  

If your just hosting static content, Amazon S3 is super easy and free and you don't have to worry about sysadmin stuff. 

here's the official guide, its super easy and there's no reason you shouldn't at least try it, it will take up 5 mins of your time.

Also, how do you want to host them?

Do you want: (for example)

• www.shambala12.com/examplesite
  
• www.examplesite.shambala12.com
  
• www.examplesite.com/www.shambala12.com
