Is it possible to support multiple websites with single CMS? Webiste are hosted on different locations as CMS.

For example, www.main.com (where CMS is loaded)
Would like www.site1.com/file1.php (different server; different IP) to access. Also have www.site2.com/file2.php (yet another server; different IP)

I'm hoping I do not have to purchase a new license for each site (www.site1.com and www.site2.com)

Rich,

On a same server setup, it is possible. It is not possible to use the program across different servers. Therefore, a new license for each site would be required.

With some creative programming, you could produce RSS Feeds, but even that is limited.

Hi richb,

I'll add that the only exception to this is if you have two websites that are basically the same content but with different designs. Licensing wise you need one license for each "website", but I know people sometimes duplicate websites for marketing purposes. So if you have a website that uses multiple domains you can always check with us and sometimes we'll make an exception. If we do you can just keep that email as proof that it's allowed in that case and you don't need another license.

For general purposes, though, you do need a license for each new site.

Hope that helps!

Thx Dave.

I host multiple sites and each site has similar topics, About, Contact Us, Services and Pricing. However, purchasing a new license for just a couple entries is not cost effective. I was hoping to use my central site for my customers with couple entries for each.

Re: [Dave] Multiple Sites

This is great news!!

I need to do the same... I have a website for animal hospital that has multiple locations.. each location has a website.
The websites are identical.. just pulling in content based on the location.

Right now I have 4 folders on my server for each location.

would I place cms in each folder? I want to avoid having to update content in 4 seperate cMS's
