Running multiple sites on one server

**koozoop** · August 3rd, 2015

Hello. I'm trying to figure out if there is a way to host multiple sites on one pc running ubuntu server 14.04.2 but allowing ssl only to one of them eg. I want to host an owncloud installation with ssl and two sites without ssl. Is that possible?

Thank u in advance!

Yes, if you are using Apache2, set up multiple virtual hosts (vhosts) and apply SSL to only one of them.

But isn't SSL on one apache instance applied globally, ie if for example I have an SSL for say, owncloud this will be applied for the other sites as well, right?

It's applied (or not) for each individual virtual host.

Thank you. I will give it a try on a virtual machine.

A virtual machine would be different and inefficient. Try the links above for virtual hosts. A virtual host is where one machine is running multiple sites from a single installation of the web server.
