Hosting Research
Architecture
- 4 Wordpress Sites with unique domain names, same theme but different css and content
- 1 Rails app - Need Postgis
Considerations
- SSL (only needed for rails app)
- 50+ domain names (currently apache virtualHost with ServerAlias "domain1.com", "domain2.com")
- Email?
- Session (how to track which site, which trip params they choose)
- Load balancing
- Redirects ('rack-rewrite' can be used to handle this i suppose)
Desired Layout
Root: Wordpress
Blog: Wordpress
...
Helios: Rails
Affiliates: Rails
Users: Rails
Trips: Rails
Basically all of the rails routes are namespaced which makes it easy to carve them out.
