Question Plesk - One Shared IP Address With Multiple Hosted Websites?

[jase42]

I am running Plesk Onyx 17.8.11

Currently, I have one IP address 12.345.67.89 set to shared

This IP address currently hosts one website in development, which can be accessed at http://12.345.67.89

I would like to install a second WordPress instance on this same IP address, so that I can develop a new website their too.

I am assuming the best way would be to install things such as:

Website 1: http://12.345.67.89/website1
Website 2: http://12.345.67.89/website2

Is this possible? Or is there a better way of doing things? I do not have access to the live domain names these websites will eventually be hosted on.

And if this is possible, when it comes time to migrating these websites to live, how do I manage the DNS records for the domains these sites will be hosted on? Do I just point the A-Record to http://12.345.67.89/website1 ?

I think that you cannot achieve what you are trying without a domain name. You need at least one domain name, because virtual hosts are name based. You can then of course create an unlimited number of subdomains (recommended, one for each website) or use one domain and subdirectories for different Wordpress websites (not recommended). If you already have a domain name somewhere, you can add some subdomains in your DNS system and let them point to the 12.345.67.89 IP, then create subscriptions on your Plesk system with these subdomains as the main subscription domain names.
