Prerequisites
Before you get started with this guide, you need to have some basic steps completed.
We’re also going to assume that you’ve completed a LEMP (Linux, NGINX, MySQL, and PHP) installation on your Ubuntu 18.04 server. If this is not completed yet, you can follow this guide on installing a LAMP stack on Ubuntu 18.04.
We’re also going to assume that you’ve completed a phpmyadmin installing on LEMP
For these reasons, and because it is a widely-deployed PHP application which is frequently targeted for attack, you should never run phpMyAdmin on remote systems over a plain HTTP connection. If you do not have an existing domain configured with an SSL/TLS certificate
Once you are finished with these steps, you’re ready to get started with this guide.
Host Multiple Domains on One Server
