Install WordPress on Ubuntu 20.04
Install Multiple WordPress Sites on Linode
If you would like to install more than one WordPress on your Linode server and don’t know how to process then let me shared my experience with you. Few months back my shared web hosting plan was about to expire and I was looking for a faster web server within the save price range $5 a month.
So I signed up for Linode VPS server, deployed Ubuntu server instance and set up Apache, and MySQL and installed 5 WordPress sites on 5 domain names and also installed SSL and open source analytical tools that gives more in depth data than Google console and Google analytics.
