I've spent some time trying to get multisite working.
I've created 2 root items, one for each site.
I've added a hostname to each root, site-a.com is set to english, site-b.com is set to danish.
The sites are two different site and not meant to variants of eachother.
The sites are in 2 different languages, danish and english.
If both sites are published as english, then it works correctly, however if the danish site only has danish published, the other english site is shown.
How can I get it to work so it shows the correct site?
There are two main approaches to setting up a multilingual site in umbraco...
Is having separate Root nodes... And Culture and Host names set for each one to route the traffic to each site...
And
Having one root node but allowing all the document types to 'vary by culture', with one language identified as a fallback
Option 2 can work well if it's a 1-1 relationship between the sites and its the same editor updating the language variations...
Option 1 is better when the sites have different structures
Anyway it was just when you said 'if the Danish site Only has Danish published' that made me think you might be combining both 1 and 2...eg your Danish site has an English variation but that is different to the English site...
??
So are you trying to setup multiple sites for each territory each with multilingual language variation?
Or two different language versions of the same site?
Or two different territories that happen to have different languages..
Having trouble figuring out multisite setup

If that makes sense?
Hi Marc
The installation contains two structurally different sites. See image below.
The .dk site has only a danish language variant. The .com site has only an english language variant.
When Umbraco is setup as mentioned above, the .dk site always goes til the .com site.
However if I move all the content on the .dk site from the "danish" language variant to the "english" language variant, it displays the .dk site.
Am I trying to accomplish something that is not possible?
With the help of a friend who works professionally with Umbraco, we figured out the issue.
The .dk domain contains an æ which backoffice does not handle correctly when entered as a hostname.
By changing the domain to the converted value, it works as a charm.
Thanks for your inputs Marc!
Hi Nicolai
Glad you got it sorted!
