RunCloud supports hosting multiple websites from its interface by allowing users to create separate web applications (web apps). Each web app runs under a specific system user, which provides some isolation. Each website is defined as a separate web app and is contained within a single user, ensuring an isolated environment for better security and performance.
- Go to your RunCloud Dashboard.
- Navigate to Web Application > Create Web App.
- Choose the server you want to host multiple websites on.
- Select the appropriate stack (Nginx or Nginx + Apache Hybrid).
- Enter your domain name (e.g., example.com).
- Select a system user (each site should ideally have its own user for security).
- Configure PHP settings if needed.
- Click Create Web App.
To host multiple websites, repeat the steps for each additional website. RunCloud handles virtual hosts automatically. Make sure that each domain’s A record IP points to the server IP. After creating each web application, you will have individual options for firewall settings, file management, and backup configuration. Additionally, you can assign a separate system user or SFTP user for each web app if needed.
In order to create a new system user, please follow the steps given below:
-Go to the server and click on ‘System User’ in the left menu bar.
-Click on the button‘Add New System User’.
-Enter the username and password.
-Click on Save System User.
You can choose the system user while creating the webapp. You can also change the existing webapp user to a new one.
-Go to the Web Application and click on the ‘Tools’ menu.
-Click on ‘Change Ownership’.
-Select the desired user from the drop-down list.
-Click on the ‘Update Web Application Owner’ button.
You can have a separate custom Nginx config as well as a PHP-FPM config for each web application. In order to add a custom nginx config, go to the Web Application > Nginx Config > Add a New Config. To create a custom php-fpm config, go to the Web Application > Settings > FPM Config.
RunCloud ensures enhanced security, performance, and ease of management, allowing multiple websites to run efficiently while minimizing conflicts—all within a single interface.
