Kentico CMS allows you to manage multiple sites in a single installation. The database contains data for all web sites and the web sites are managed using a single administration interface (single copy of code). The following figure shows the multi-site configuration where one database and one copy of CMS code are used for multiple web sites.
When you use multi-site configuration, you can share:
