Multisite with another domain?

Using Ghost
1

Hello,
I’ve been a WordPress developer and now looking at other options. I have a question before I switch. I would like to have a multisite Ghost instance and it looks like that can be achieved using content collection but it uses the same domain. Is it possible to have multiple domains pointed to a Ghost installation and then have domain a point to one collection and domain b point to another collection?

Thanks.

Hi @openbayou ,
Not sure if I understand fully term “collection”, but if I would try to answer your questions as separate using my personal experiense than it would be this:

  • Can I host multiple Ghost instances on one server? - Yes
  • Can I point different domains to these instances? - Yes, each instance will have it’s own unique port

If your “collection” is about sub-domains - than answers will be the same.

Ghost has pretty firm opinions about what domain it lives at, and will redirect if asked for a different domain. I don’t believe routes.yaml can be used to serve different content to different domain requests.

It would be possible to construct something like this with a bunch of proxy-rewriting (although Ghost is still only going to send out links and posts as whatever site it thinks it is), but there might be an argument for two Ghost installs here.

If you want to share more about what you’re trying to accomplish (and particularly the ‘why’ part), you might get some additional suggestions for how to do it in a more ‘Ghost-y’ way.
