I host multiple sites on my GoDaddy shared IIS7 account. I have no idea how they setup non-primary domains, but IIS7 insists on including the sub-folder used to host the non-primary domain in every request. I was able to work around this for an ASP.Net MVC site I put together by way of a real <a href="http://stackoverflow.com/questions/604814/asp-net-mvc-actionlinks-and-shared-hosting-aliased-domains" rel="nofollow">hack</a>. However, now I've moved on to hosting a wordpress blog for a different non-primary domain. I got ManagedFusion rewrite rules to *almost* work. I am at the point where I have pretty permalinks for nearly every page with the exception that the homepage of the blog does not display any posts -- no idea why and I really shouldn't have to resort to diving into the PHP code to look. What a royal pain ... Anyway, does SoftSys support multiple domains in a different fashion? How's your experience been so far? I was glad to find your post and find out that someone else experienced this pain, too! I felt I was out of my mind!

Anyway, does SoftSys support multiple domains in a different fashion? How’s your experience been so far?

I was on a windows (IIS7) plan, and the problem I was having is that I couldn't get Url Rewriting to work correctly on secondary sites. It worked fine on the primary site in the root but they are using some sort of rewriting for the secondary sites that was conflicting with what I was trying to do. The other problem I had was that every settings change took hours. The code box I'm using is <a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-syntax/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">wp-syntax</a>. I tried several and the one worked the best. Are you on a unix or windows hosting plan at GoDaddy?

What sort of problems were you having? I use GoDaddy.com to host multiple sites on my shared hosting plan, including my WordPress site, and I haven't yet had any issues. Then again, I'm probably only using a fraction of WordPress's capabilities. :) Also, what code box plugin do you use? I've been having horrible luck so far with the ones I've tried, and yours appears to work pretty well. Interesting… What sort of problems were you having?
