Multi Domains for one site

Permalink 1 user found helpful
Wondering how to have one c5 site that is maintained with 5 different domains pointing to it. Is it possible to get the search engines to index each as a separate site? so when the sub pages are index they are index to the domain that got them their.

C5 accepts multiple domains if you place the following line in site.php.

define('REDIRECT_TO_BASE_URL', false);

All of the pages for the site will use the domain name used to first access the site.
Whether the search engine fully indexes each site depends on the search engine. I believe that if Google detects that these are all the same site, it will rank the sites lower.

just so you know, if you use google's stats feature they are going to be a bit skewed as it indexes each domain as a different site.

Ok, that being known. The site has 3 differnt domains for each special product. would like to land on the product specifice page ( 1 of the 3) and the rest of the site (sub pages) be the same for the 3? like having 3 diffent Home pages but the pages below are all the same?
Or, any other Ideals of what other have tried?

I believe the domain mapper add-on in the marketplace does exactly what you are describing. You can specify the home page for each domain, and any other links go to the main site (but still use the specific domain of the home page). Take a look at the screencast and the discussion for more information.

wizardontherun - did this add-on work for you? Did it do what you wanted?
I have the exact same requirement - I want to point additional urls at specific pages on the site, so that I have one site - but 3 different homepages depending on which product specific url they have used.

Thanks

yes worked great, I have 4 domains that land on product spcific pages and all sub pages are shared.
