Great overview I wish I had this video back in my bluehost noob days

[@numankaraaslan]

I am trying to use the reverse-proxy.conf file and multiple server blocks. But it only redirects to first server block always. Why do you think that happens?

[@djlotussutol]

thank you. to the point and worked perfectly.

[@absprog]

Glad to hear that!👍

what if i don't have domain name i just use server ip to access it? will it be the same way ?

[@bakhadher2240]

i just figure it out that i can host multicable website without domain name i just need to change the port number for each website. Thanks bro

[@gabrielrossirocha]

It works if sites are hosted in another VMs? I mean, I have two websites hosted on two different VMs. Could I use NGINX to forward the traffic to this websites based on the URLs used?

[@habibosaye]

Very sure that’s possible, maybe a proxy_pass directive? Or a redirect

When I put www. Infront of the domain it does not work. How can i fix that

[@QBarszcz]

put a new record that has name www and points to the same server

Will restarting Nginx cause downtime on the website?

[@absprog]

Brief downtime, usually two or three seconds.

[@nick232]

can you asign the domains to the ip after?

[@absprog]

Yes, you just add an “A” record to the domain, with the IP as its value, where you manage your domains.
