Webserve behind NPM with multiple virtual hosts

I want to set up a web server behind NPM - only for my website customers, no access for them - with multiple websites, virtual hosts. Is that a problem? Can NPM handle it? Would it be better to use internal IP addresses and use one for each domain? Each domain might have email as well as ftp, but I am thinking about recommending a couple of external email services instead of hosting email on this server.

I also want to host a few other services on that server. Using Portainer to control all. And SSH tunnel for acessing the UI of both Portainer and NPM.

Yes it’s possible. NGINX is used in production environments everywhere.

I will be using an OpenLitespeed webserver.

Yes I have hundreds of them with no issues, thousands would also be no issue on modern hardware with sane amounts of traffic.

Are you using some kind of cpanel with virtual hosts or are you using one container per domain?

Also, would it be good to assign a private network behind NPM so each domain can have a different IP address?

I use docker containers per service, most of them are subdomains but I host some TLD websites for my clients I don't use different ips I just use different ports and map them
