Additional domains vs websites

samjonsmith

Quickly realising that you can't tailor PHP versions, php.ini and nginx rewrites for subdomains and add-on domains - got round by setting up as a separate site - but wondering what the point of the subdomain or add-on domain feature is if it you can't do that? Perhaps there should be the ability to promote a domain to a website?

You can, but it's pretty hidden in Developer options. Php stuff is per websitecontainer though, or per website as Enhance calls it.

There is plenty of reason BTW. One is localization and translation. Or you maybe want to use completely separate domain but same app to manage content. We do it all the time.

And as for subdomain, many times we have one app that loads front (for general users) from sub folder and admin area from another diffrent sub folder. So this comes handy.

There are quite a few other use cases.
