I am going to be setting up a large site that I would like to run on 1 umbraco instance for ease. Now here is what I am trying to do.
www.xxxxxxx.com ->main page
yyyy.xxxxxxx.com -> subdomain
zzz.xxxxxxx.com ->subdomina
qqq.xxxxxxxx.com -> subdomain
And have all of those run off of the same umbraco install (the one on the main domain). Is there a way to set it up like this or do I need to put a seperate umbraco instance on each subdomain?
Hi Evan,
Create multiple root nodes, and assign a hostname to any of those root nodes
-right click node, click 'Assign domain names', choose domain (eg. yyyy.domain.com) and set language.
Don't forget to set up your host headers in iis as well.
Hope this helps.

there is also a config setting that it pays to make. Refer to step 6 in this blog post I did:
blog.fairlieagile.co.nz/.../setting-up-a-new-umbraco-project
The rest of the post refers to setting up sites with flat URLs in IIS7 so may also be of use.
Cheers
