MULTIPLE SITES

How can I setup multiple sites, I think you guys SHOULD create a short vid on that. I have been trying to do so for hours unsuccessfully.
Can someone explain this process step by step? thank you!

You can use your site's sub-domains to host more than one wordpress site.

If you mean Local sites, for simplicity download DesktopServer. You can make as many local sites as you need.

If you are trying to deploy several sites to one domain you could use sub domain as previously mentioned.

Sub-domains are the best way to do this I think. If you go into your C-Panel you can create sub-domains that add a prefix on your domain URL, e.g. example.website.com. The sub-domain can be assigned a specific root folder so just create a new folder in your public_html folder on your hosting server. Install your website into that folder. You can use this to create multiple sites on one domain that have unique URL's.
