I have been running this for a while now and wondered if there were better, less expensive ways:

To have 2 or more domains in one shared hosting arrangement provide the dnn codebase for other domains, i am currently leasing one static IP per dnn codebase, to ensure each parent portal can find the correct source of its' site. This works, but costs money.

I have stayed away from a coding approach, but just wanted to revisit this as i am "shaking things up" a bit.

What is everyone else doing? A separate codebase per domain is not a great solution for me as this increases disk cost, 3rd party control cost etc.

thanks for any thoughts, drew..

Drew, depends on what you can do with the hosting package and then what you want. 

You don't need to have a unique IP per parent portal. IIS host headers allows for multiple domains and IIS sites to share a single IP, so you can even have multiple DNN installs sharing a single IP.

If you are talking about a lot of small Sites it might be a better use of resources to place them in a single DNN install and a single IIS site.  You can always move these off to thier own IIS site/IP combo later (still using the single DNN install) if you want to use thier own SSL cert for example.

With larger sites that have a lot of custom modules you might want to keep them in thier own DNN install.

thanks Antony.. perhaps it was just a limitation of a prior host, and if memory serves, for me to have 2 or more codebases in the same hosting package, sharing an IP address, they said.. no no, no can do, you need a separate IP per codebase. So what you are saying is simply use IIS to direct the parent portal back to the codebase url via headers. As long as the end-result url displayed within the browser is the original destination and we maintain uniqueness to allow for proper email etc... then great..

The host headers don't really 'redirect' in IIS, they are more a filter to allow multiple sites to share a single IP address.  And yes the original URL will be retained unless something changes it.
