How I do it

I believe everyone have their own way to serve multiple website using only single VPS. As for me, I use nginx as reverse proxy, so I can redirect incoming request to my localhost. I follow this nginx.conf configuration and change it as needed. Using the same configuration, I can setup several server blocks so I have several hosts on a single server.

nginx.conf
http {
      # omitted for brevity


      server {
            listen          80;
            server_name     yourdomain.com;


            location / {
                proxy_pass    http://127.0.0.1:5555   # your localhost
            }
      }


      server {
            listen          80;
            server_name     yourseconddomain.com;


            location / {
                proxy_pass    http://127.0.0.1:6666   # your second localhost
            }
      }
}

Next is you need to setup your DNS management to point your domain to the same VPS and voila, you done.
