    Multiple instances of Umbraco, 1 SQL Server DB?

    Looking to install a few versions of Umbraco but they are for quite small, low traffic sites.

    Given the cost of SQL Server, is there anyway of installing multiple instances of Umbraco and pointing them at one SQL db? I've done this with our own in house CMS before given the size of the sites and the cost of SQL!

    Any ideas?

    Thanks in advance!

    James

    Hi James,

    The express version of SQL-server is free and works well with Umbraco.

    However, you can create multiple  websites in 1 DB with umbraco (note, 1 umbraco-installation. Simply point all host-headers to the same IIS-website and then manage those host-names in umbraco as well. Works for a lot of people. 

    You cannot have multiple umbraco-instances pointing to the same DB.

    HTH,

    Peter

    Each umbraco instance (installation) needs one Database, but you can use one umbraco instance to host several websites. You also can use several instances of umbraco on one server using the same database server, but each instance needs an own database.
