Could I run two separate sites off of ProcessWire?

One I plan to be a personal site and the other I plan to be more of a webcomic hosting site. First for myself and then gradually expand into a webcomic portal site. Although, I’m not sure if PW is capable of running such a site, especially when one may be bigger than the other. They’ll both be ran on a LAMP server, but I want to know before I attempt anything.

Hello and welcome to ProcessWire!

Basically what we are talking about here is called a "multi site". 

This article here explains some options how to achieve this:

When your two websites differ very much design wise and from the template/field structure I would not use the multi-site module (option #2) but instead install two separate PW instances to keep it cleaner.

Hello! And thank you so much! How would I install separate PW instances? Would I have to make another LAMP stack for the 2nd instance or can both sites run of of one LAMP stack but just be two separate instances?

You can run both on the same stack. You just create two databases and one ProcessWire installation in the filesystem for each database.
