Hello,
I would like to know if it is possible to have multiple WordPress modules with one click on the same shared hosting. One in production and one for testing.
Hello @ladralha
It might be possible, but to me it isn’t a good idea.
It’s better to install each WordPress site manually, following my guide strictly.
Each site will be installed in a folder at the same level as /www, named after its domain.
The table prefix should be of the form: wp_DOMAIN_

Here is a short guide I wrote that could give you some clarification for a complete and clean installation of your site.
Guide – Understanding the Relationship Domain > DNS Zone > Hosting > Site Folder
See → CMS - WordPress - Installation Guide at OVH
Read and verify your situation by following the paragraphs carefully, from A to J, applicable to all CMS.
Feel free to give me feedback: positive or negative.
That’s how I fine‑tune my guide.

Hello @ladralha
When your WordPress site is finished and operational, don’t forget to back it up on your PC.
________________________________________________________________
Backups of your site at OVH are not eternal.
Excerpt from my guide: T - OVH restoration of your site to a previous date
At OVH, restoring your hosting only allows you to go back at most two weeks.
If the hack of your site dates back three weeks, you’re sunk and have to delete everything and rebuild your site completely.
At OVH, restoring your database only allows you to go back at most two months
Remember to make a backup Hosting and Database on your PC once a month.
See in my guide the paragraph: Ua - Complete backup of your site to your PC

Hello @ladralha
To install a one‑click WordPress module, several criteria must be met:
1 - The domain name used for the one‑click module must point to an empty folder within your hosting.
2 - A database must be available during installation.
3 - Your hosting must run an up‑to‑date version of WordPress.
If your plan meets these three criteria, the one‑click module installation can be started:
Step 1 of 4: Click your domain under the “Hosting” section,
Step 2 of 4: Go to the “One‑Click Modules” tab then “Add a module”,
Step 3 of 4: Choose the desired module, select your domain and click “Install”,
Step 4 of 4: Wait about fifteen minutes for the installation.
You will then receive an email with the credentials; the password will be visible by clicking the link in the email, and the link will be valid for 48 h from the moment you use it.

Hello @ladralha
May I draw your attention to the fact that if a site is hacked, OVH will block it and also all the other sites on the hosting.
If all the sites belong to you, you will take responsibility.
But if they are sites for different clients, that's a very bad idea.
In the case of different clients it’s better to:
- Have the client purchase a Domain + personal hosting,
- Have you put in technical contact,
- Perform the site installation and its subsequent management.
See my guide: Install, configure, administer, manage a client’s OVH site
Hello Asterix and thank you for this detailed answer. But that wasn’t the question. I already have a one‑click WP that I want to move to production. So there’s no way to modify it every 5 minutes. I’d like to create a second one for testing. A new plugin, for example.
Is this possible with the one‑click module or does it have to be installed manually? I’m on a personal multi‑site.
NO for the second site
YES for the second site
Let’s set aside the first module since it seems to work 
If your hosting has a database available for installation and uses a recent version of PHP, it is entirely possible to launch the installation of a second module on a subdomain, for example.
To create a subdomain :
Go to the multisite section of your hosting and click "Action" then "Add a domain or subdomain" and fill in the following fields:
• Subdomain: The name of your subdomain
• Root folder: The folder where the test plugin site files will reside
• Optionally check the box to also create the "www" subdomain.
To activate SSL on this subdomain :
Step 1 of 3: Go to the "SSL Certificate" category of your hosting
Step 2 of 3: Select your subdomain in the "Enable SSL certificate" field by checking the box(es),
Step 3 of 3: Click the "Enable SSL certificate" button or "Regenerate SSL"
Then you can install your second module.

Thank you very much, Astérix. That's very clear.
Have a good evening.
I recommend that you instead perform a WordPress installation.
Follow the guide I provided in my first answer.
Feel free to let us know if everything is OK on your side
