Umbraco Subdomains

Subdomains and Multi-Site Installations

Umbraco makes it easy to work with multiple sites or sub-domains--as long as it has been installed in the root directory.

The first node you create in the Content tree is your default landing page.� After that, if you create pages at the same level, you can access those in another way.

  • You can create a link directly to the document.
  • You can use umbracoUrlAlias to make an url
  • You can, from the Right-Click Context Menu, add a hostname
  • You can redirect with Url Rewriting to a page set up to diplay the info

If you add a hostname, you may still need to do some setting on your actual host.� In Plesk you just create a subdomain and point it to the same web-root umbraco install.

Added hostnames must also be enabled by editing the umbracoSettings in config, set UseDomainPrefixes to true.

Using Plesk, when creating a subdomain, you can opt for phisical or virtual hosting. �Physical will create an entire root (folders incl. 'httpdocs', &c.) folder within a "subdomain" folder in your domain's root. �You can manage some ftp settings limiting access, I think (writing this up after the fact a bit). �When using the physical hosting, I don't inform umbraco at all about the subdomain. �Here is an example.

When the subdomain is marked for virtual hosting in Plesk, you'll create another entry-level document in the root of your umbraco Content folder. Right-Click on it to set the sub-domain that will be pointed there.
