QuickNotepadTutorial: How To Run Multiple Websites Using Nginx Webserver On Ubuntu 18.04 LTS

Sometimes it may be wise to run multiple websites or blogs on a single server. For example, running one website or blog per server may not be the best way to utilize your server resources. One server, one website? No way.. just not efficient.
That’s why there’s a feature called Virtual Hosts on Apache2 and Server Blocks on Nginx. Virtual hosts or server blocks are feature on these web servers that allow multiple websites and blogs to be hosted on a single server. If a server has enough resources, why wastes those resources by only hosting a single website?
This brief tutorial is going to show you how to enable server blocks on Nginx web server to host multiple blogs.
