Hi

Multisite approach for an environment with 20 subsites is it a good idea ?

our setup will consists single code base and separate database for each site.
we thought of this approach is due to reuse code and easy for future maintainance.

is it a good decision to have multisite for this purpose, what could be the impacts if any ?

PathAuto to generate /sites/{childdomain.com}/ part of URL??

Anyone using PathAuto automated alias settings to generate the /sites/{child-domain.com}/ part of clean URLs, so that you can use reference nodes without hardcoding that in?

Any problems doing it?

Oopsie. Didn't mean to add this here. Creating new post.

No problem

There is no inherent limit on the number sites using a single codebase. On a single server, there might, of course, be performance issues if the sites have a lot of traffic, but you would have the same issue with separate codebases on a single server.

You might want to take a look at Aegir.

Thanks for the info
