Two WordPress websites on the same VPS

Hi everybody, I'm really new to VPS and only have some experience with CPanel, so maybe my question is stupid, but I read every tutorial available, and I still can figure out how to solve my problem.

I want to install two WordPress websites on the same droplet with Ubuntu 16.04.01.
I was suggested to use VestaCP to manage it, and somehow I succeeded in installing one of the websites. Now I want to go for the second one.

Here's what I've done so far:
-installed VestaCP
-created one domain and one DB for one of the sites
-installed WordPress in the public_html folder using FileZilla
-exported the website (files and database) to the new WordPress installation using a plugin called Wp All-In-One Migration

Now I am stuck: could you please help me understand what should I do to install the other website? Where should I put it?
Thanks!

Log in to your VestaCP and create a new user with a suitable package (best to separate websites under different accounts). Then go back to the user accounts list, hover over the newly created account and select 'Login as [user]', go to 'web' and create a new domain (your second domain) and do the same procedure you did for the first website, but use the new user details to log in to your FTP.

and when you create a new webdomain under a new user... don't forget to use the wordpress2 vesta template instead of default. Saves you a couple of days of googling ;)
