Thanks for clarifying regarding routes. Could you clarify what you mean "It be a simple `if` statement that calls one of two of the controllers `private` or `protected` methods which contain the login for wether the username is "Bob" or "BobsShop".
I have a UsersController and a ShopsController, the former handles the "Bob" username while the latter handles "BobsShop" username. So if i route the /:username url to my UsersController, how should I handle the logic for the "BobsShop" username?
