    Manage ~10 sites from a single Back-End

    Hi,

    First of all, I am considering this because all the sites share similar structure and functionality.

    What I am trying to do and understand is how to create and manage ~10 sites from a single backend. Do I need a single Umbraco instance to achieve this? How can I organize my MVC files while they will start to pile up from all the different sites? - considering subfolders in Views (with site name) is not supported out of the box. Or can I make a single backend login that redirects to a site backend based on credentials?

    Thanks!

    Hi Dan,

    1) You can create your backend as Api and than use Api methods on all sites. 2) You can create different templates for one node and map 10 domain names to one home node.

    Hi Dan,

    sure you can have ~10 sites in one umbraco instance. That's only a question of your site design with your DocumentTypes and so on.

    Here's a video from this year's codegarden with that topic. http://stream.umbraco.org/video/9921509/40-different-high-traffic-sites-from-a

    The organization of the backend files like views, css, js is the real difficulty. Haven't watched the video myself but maybe it's providing some answers for this problem.

    Thanks David, nice video.

    This is exactly what we are trying to achieve. Only difference is that our project is mvc and theirs is asp.net. Doesn't say anything about organizing the back-end files like views, css, js though.
