Hi Dmytro,

Welcome to Our Forum!

1. We should be able to create region copy of website on a subdomain -

Do you know about Manage Hostnames feature?

Is it what you need?

I think you need one more root node, if you want to have 2 languages on each copy o site, so structure will be:

website.com
-- en
-- es

region1.com
-- en
-- es

Thanks,

The easiest way to share content is to create one more root node - Settings or something like that for storing content that will be shared between all sites.

Yeah, I though about it too, but how to say that it's not an actual page and link to a page from "Shared Content" root node? I believe we will use something similar to "Common About Us" page.

Thanks,

Dmytro

Final solution:

1. Add additional bindings for your IIS website and update hosts file for local developement
2. Setup "Culture and Hosting" setting for each language (root nodes)
3. Create "Domains" picker control. Create an appropriate setting for each page (base page + composition). Now you are able to choose page availability on each domain.

4. Use this extension to check if page is available in current domain. You can hide it from navigation, raise an exception, redirect to a specific page.

   /// <summary>
   /// Check if content is available in the current domain
   /// </summary>
   /// <returns></returns>
   public static bool IsAvailableInDomain(this HttpRequestBase request, IPublishedContent content )
   {
       var pageDomains = content.GetPropertyValue<string>("domain", SharedDomainSetting).Split(new char[] { ',' });
       return pageDomains.Any(x => string.Equals(x, SharedDomainSetting, StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase) 
           || string.Equals(x, request.Url.Host, StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase));
   }
   

P.S. I believe in future we can work on a starter kit for multi-domain/multi-language/mobile custom website.

Thanks,

Dmytro
