Thanks for the fast response. 2 questions.

1) When the users browse to one of the "pointer" domains, what do the URLs look like? They do not display the base (first) domain url, do they?

2) With 4.5 coming out real soon, should I wait the few days or install 4.4.1?

Thanks!

That is just what I want! Thanks!

Just to make sure that I am understanding what you've done, www.iowacomputergurus.com is a domain and virtual directory and portal.iowacomputergurus.com is a subdomain. Is that correct? Was there a reason that you set up the base DNN install in a subdomain? Using my 3 site example from before, should I install dnn in myhostingrootdirectrory\firstsite.com\firstsite.com and point nextsite and madeupsite at it or should I install it in myhostingrootdirectrory\firstsite.com\firstsite.com\PORTAL and point all three sites at that?

Knowing how difficult it is to change things once the install is done (at least with most products that i have worked with), I want to TRY to set it up as correct and effecient as possible.

With one install, they all share one database, the same host, and the same set of installed modules... correct? Just making sure before I start installing. I would like to get the first site up this week and hopefully one of the repointed sites as well.

Thanks again for all fo your help!
