I am currently tasked with moving a set of ColdFusion 8 sites with different domains to a new host. The original developer hosted the website out of his house. Because he had full control over the Linux box there are several symbolic links created - the file system knows that calls to what seem to be "../some/thing" should actually result to the file directory of another site ala "../other/thing". All the sites share the same database. Not the way I would have set things up but its what I am dealt.
Couple questions here: 1) I've previously used IIS and virtual directories to support having different domains running on the same CF box with the same db backend. Are their hosts that support virtual domains without having to purchase dedicated (own the entire box) plans? 2) I believe I could also accomplish the same thing by setting up aliases in Apache. Again, are the CF hosts that let me define alias names to support redirecting multiple incoming domains to different file folders (without having to pay the hunderds a month to completely configure a system)? While I believe I could get away with CF Mappings for the "...some/thing/...", "../other/thing" I don't see how that can solve my multi-domains-to-same-box challenge. What are my options?
