    <!DOCTYPE html> <html lang="en"> <head> <meta charset="UTF-8"> <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge"> <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0"> <title>Site 1</title> </head> <body> <h1>Helo vino</h1> </body> </html>

  3. Change to /etc/nginx

  4. Create sites-available and sites-enabled
