joesab

Hi guys hw can I host a second (totally diferent) website
I already hosted one without issues https://learna.ml

but I want to host another one which is totally diferent script under a diferent domain https://jklance.cf
I have to mencion I am using Google cloud for the VPS
and freenom for Domain name
aapanel is running Nginx

every time I set it up the second website it trows back to my first website learna.ml instead of jklance
if I change the default path everything it jus show a totally blank scren nothing nothing
any help?

or any idea if the problem is caused because of pointing google cloud/freenom to the same ip as the previous website
(learnam.ml) ??

or any tutorial on hosting multiple site on the same vps?

or what error should I check?
sorry I´m still getting use to aapanel
have to admit I kind of love it XD

You need to create a brand new website
If you need to use https to access a new website, you need to apply for ssl for its domain name or you will access the content of a website that has https enabled

Hi sorry I didn´t explain

so I got the website running nice in the port https://104.198.186.228:9999
but at the moment of setting up where the DNS should point to
I don´t know how to point it to the 9999 port

In other words:
if I access https://jklance.cf it doesn´t work

if I write the https://104.198.186.228:9999 it works

so the question is more of DNS Name pointing to the right port rather than setting up the multiple website

By the way I already used the pluging from the app store DNS Manager
Also tried
website-->domain manager-->add new domain-->jklance.cf:9999
and still not working

Once more thanks for you valuable times guys

Bring the port when you add the website

thanks, Jose.
I followed it exactly,
it wasn't working because it was not an issue in aapanel settings.

Managed to make it work that same day
the only issue was in my DNS nameserver in google cloud not aapanel

//////////////////*//

So for the newbies struggling with the same thing:

I had to point my DNS from Freenom to the same nameservers of google cloud

So the way it works is you create a DNS zone in Google cloud
let´s say google DNS assigns you
ns1.example-google.com
ns2.example-google.com
pointing to your virtual machine Ip
let´s say your IP is 0.0.0.0

So the DNS zone points to your Virtual machine instance.
and the Name server points to that DNS Nameserver
Done

more detailed?
let me explain it, with an example:

Get a domain (Freenom) for any of your multiple websites (as many as you like)
pointing to the same nameserver of google

how? you have to Google: how to create a Google DNS Zone for my website
then
you have point
your first Freenom domain let’s say www.example.com to the Google DNS zone

in Freenom click on manage domains
then click in the tab at the top---> manage nameserver
and write the nameserver you got from Google DNS zone/Nameserver
example
ns1.example-google.com
ns2.example-google.com

your second domain www.second-example.com YOU STILL point it to the same google cloud nameservers/DNS ZONE:

Again for your www.second-example.com in Freenom click on manage domain then manage nameserver and write your same Google DNS zone/Nameserver

ns1.example-google.com
ns2.example-google.com
(I wasn’t doing it so it wasn't working haha)

then in Nginx you redirect traffic to the website to the right port for each website
to so, do the same as the screenshot posted by aaPanel_Jose (your domain name:YOURPORT)
so for every website, use a different port

Why? Because ns1.example-google.com nameserver point to your IP since both domains will be hosted on the same server they can share IP

essentially you are pointing both domains to the same IP and then let aaPanel and Nginx decide which website to show depending on the port

repeat process for as many websites as you like

there are some other ways to do it but that’s the easiest way I found
hope it helps someone

I tried your recipe but it doesn't work, domains won't resolve, just for others to save the trouble.
