I want to create two bitcoind-nodes (for mainnet and testnet) on one server (VPS), how can I do it?

Becouse if I rename bitcoind to bitcoindtestnet and run - it using the same bitcoin.conf?

Thank you!

Renaming a program is not going to change the behavior of the program, which is what you want to do (change it from using mainnet to using testnet).

To start bitcoind in testnet mode, use -testnet.

That they use the same bitcoin.conf file is known, you can use the -conf option to choose a different config file for one of your nodes.
