subdomains

We have a client that has multiple top level domains for the products they offer. These products are different full fledged softwares. They also have a domain for their actual company that makes these products. We are consolidating their sites so that all of them can be managed by one backend. One of our developers suggested to consolidate even more by moving their product tld's into sub domains of the company site.

So instead of this:
http://company.com
http://product1.com
http://product2.com
http://product3.com
http://product4.com

It would be this:
http://company.com

We are building a website with multiple sub-domains in Drupal. Each website should be treated separately with its own content. We want to share SOME content among sub-domains (not much), keeping in mind that SEO is of upmost importance. (no duplicate content among sub-domains). How would you approach this project? Would you use Domain Access or Subdomain module? or another module that I haven't heard about?

Hi all,
after spent many hours around google (and searching here too), I've not found any solution about the subject.
I've a drupal installation (6.16), domain access (6.x.22) and many other modules.
Here is the problem: I've to configure different contact form for each subdomain. I've tryed contact form module, but I've to create a lot of page for any contact and is not a good job for us.
Now, the question is: how can I implement individual contact form on every subdomain?
Any suggestions are welcome.

I've read through this discussion: http://groups.drupal.org/node/48428

I'd like to have http://user.site.com be equivalent to http://site.com/blogs/user (mod-rewrite?) but I'd also like to have the option for a user to specify a custom domain in their profile and have http://customdomain.com map to http://site.com/blogs/user - has anybody written code to do this? If not I'm going to have to write my own module to implement it ....

Hej!

Har satt upp en multisites installation med separata databaser på en WampServer.
Jag har tänkt att använda modulen Subdomains men inte lyckats med konfigurationen.
Jag har följt anvisningarna enligt README.txt för Subdomains.
Jag har skapat en "virtual host" för varje site enligt nedan

VirtualHost *:80
ServerName exempel.swe
ServerAlias *.exempel.swe
DocumentRoot "C:\wamp\www\drupal"
ErrorLog "logs/exempel.swe-error.log"
CustomLog "logs/exempel.swe-access.log" common
VirtualHost

VirtualHost *:80
ServerName exempel2.swe

HI there

there is little performance issues if we have all modules at same installation. basically I have a site social, and i like to offer many facilities to users, but if i install many modules on same installation it impacts the performance, so i decided to user multisite,

for e.g.,

songs : songs.example.com
videos : videos.example.com
groups: groups.example.com
blogs: blogs.example.com

something like that.

Greetings, after days of trying to set up my site I decided to start over with a new hosting service. Installation went 100% better with the new host. Now would like to set up a multi-site configuration. I have been reading some of the posts and have gained some valuable information but I am still confused about how to set it up

I have my domain example.com, and two sub domains example1.example.com and example2.example.com. I have redirected the subdomains to http://example1 and http://example2

I've finally had some time this weekend to play around with the server that i got from hostmysite.com. All mandatory plugging aside, given my limited needs list i am quite satisfied with the service so far, more on my experience with the representatives later.

For no better reason than just having a spare domain, i configured www.sheino.com to resolve against the server regardless of which subdomain you try it with. Really, try [ANYTHING].sheino.com and it will bring you to the same page. i find it highly interesting and i take much personal satisfaction from this simple fact because i do not come from a background that ever taught me how domains work.

This was posted originally here >>>http://drupal.org/node/293930

But I realized belatedly that it might be better to address this to those with multisite experience.

I have drupal 6.3 installed and run about 20 other TLDs (site1.com, site2.com, etc., all folders located in the /sites directory) off that single installation. Everything works fine, with one exception.

I've noticed that the standard php mail functions (for user registration and webforms, for example) work for the parent installation, but uniformly do not work for the child subdomain installations.
