We've got 4 domain names which all comprise a single website. We went with the second option where each domain is its own django project with a single app in it. We liked this option for two reasons.
1) We wanted apache virtual hosts to be handling the decision about which entry point to use instead of directing all traffic to a single django project and letting the python (which we believe to be less performance optimized than the apache method). This was a performance decision. 2) We also wanted the ability to flexibly grow the infrastructure backing different domains. Basically it is easier for us to handle traffic to different areas of our site since we can always break out more servers to handle different virtual hosts. If it was all one django project I don't think you could allocate infrastructure this granularly. my 2 cents, but I'd love to hear what others think about these things Brian On Thu, Sep 23, 2010 at 5:00 AM, Benedict Verheyen < [email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > > > it's not exactly clear to me how the sites, projects and apps need to be > structured. > > For instance, if you have 2 sites both with a domain name, how would you > structure > this in Django? > The Django project could be called "mysites" or whatever name. > In the admin site, you would then have 2 sites.
