Hosting Multiple Prestashop Sites On Same Vps

[GoGoMo]

I'm currently running one PrestaShop site on a CentOS 7.1 droplet thru DigitalOcean; do I need to install Prestashop for each individual domain hosted on a single VPS? How do I configure it?

Hi, yes you would need a new installation for each domain unless you opt (read/learn) PrestaShop MultiStore, learn more here:

note: I do not know the digitalocean interface but basically for new stand alone you would add domain, this should create  space on server, then add db, upload and install PS.

 

for multistore, you would add enable PrestaShop multistore then add new domain, note: you would need to point new domain DNS to main domain.

I don't necessarily want PrestaShop MultiStore because the domains (sites) are completely different and won't be sharing the same products and categories, customers and customer groups and definitely don't want one big database due to PrestaShop's vulnerabilities.

For your purposes your logic is sound
