Hosting multiple websites in Google Compute Engine

We have 8 websites and 5 of them are small. I would like to host those 5 website in same instance but their ip must be same and static. I couldn't find a way how to allocate a static ip for each of them and how to host them in a single instance. They are PHP. Their db's are hosted in Google SQL.

This can be possible using Protocol Forwarding.

You can have different IP addresses for each website while using single Virtual Machine.

I had successfully hosted my 3 sites using method in past. If you need, I can write up a detail explanation on some blog.

Per the Google Compute Engine docs on static IP addresses:

An instance can have only one external IP address. If it already has an external IP address, you must first remove that address by deleting the old access configuration, then adding a new access configuration with the new external IP address.

That said, you don't need to have a separate static IP address per website—you can serve an arbitrary number of sites from a single VM by using a feature such as Apache virtual hosts which let you serve a different site depending on the hostname that is requested by the user.
