Hosting separate DNS inside the same kentico instance

ruchika sharma asked on March 3, 2021 16:57

Can we host multiple domain names on single kentico instance?

We have 1 kentico instance hosted on server with DNS mapped as myclient.abc.com. There is an ask to host new website inside this same Kentico instance with DNS myclientbenefit.com.

Is this possible?

Thank you Ruchika

Yes, Kentico can handle this as it is multitenant in nature. You can add multiple sites and map them to different domain names without any issues. Check out these docs: https://docs.xperience.io/configuring-xperience/managing-sites/setting-domain-names-for-sites

Thanks Brian. Do we have this feature in Kentico 12 also, as i have gone through the link above and not able to find the option to add live URL alias in edit site option in K 12.

Thank you Ruchika

This has been a feature for as long as I can remember.

Keep in mind that an alias is the same site with different url. If you want a different content you need to setup a new site (which can be within the same application). Also if it's a new site it might need a license for it.

The link to the Documentation Brian shared you can see a version drop down at the top of the screen. If mapped you will switch to the same info in another version.

For v12: docs.xperience.io/k12sp/.../setting-domain-names-for-sites
