Exponential 6 / Getting started / Adding Siteaccesses in Exponential

Lots of Websites, One Exponential Installation

Introduction

Users of Exponential sometimes wonder if it is possible to make use of a single installation of Exponential for multiple websites. The answer is yes—through the power of the “siteaccess”. In fact, an understanding of siteaccesses gives one the ability to do much more than just host multiple sites in one installation. With this technique you can:

  • make it easier to share content between databases
  • copy and add locations to objects
  • use a single Premium agreement and one eZ Network extension for multiple sites with the same or different content
  • simplify eZ Publish upgrades by consolidating several sites on one installation
