No, you can use one hosting account. Point each domain at aseparate folder.  That kind of setup will work with most hostingaccounts.  ProductCart will keep sessions if you use a shared SSL. SharedSSL is by nature on a separate domain.  However, it must be on the sameserver.  Check the User Guide to make sure you meet the Shared SSL requirements. So you are fine to do what you need to do.  To keep itsimple I would get separate dedicated SSL for each domain name, but you don’t haveto.

Okay, then that's the answer - everything on its own hosting space and SSL - I was trying to save the client a few bucks to the end client, but they'll just have to raise their fees a few % to make up the difference :-)

Thanks for all your input!

Hi Matt, I do not need to have the orders flow into one fulfillment center, so thats not the problem. 

The problem that I think I might have is with the SSL.

The main company URL we'll call www.WeMakeShirts.com  I will buy a dedicated SSL for the main domain name - https://www.WeMakeShirts.com

For each client, I will get their own ProductCart license AND domain name that sits on the same hosting account (I can have 12 domain names under one account) example:  www.SellShirts.com/wss/pc - the wss would be the renamed productcart folder - this could technically also be www.WeMakeShirts.com/wss/pc

At checkout, each PC store would redirect to the main SSL (https://WeMakeShirts.com/wss/pc

I think the issue is the documentation said that you cant redirect to a shared SSL if ParentPaths are disabled.   The other easier option is just have a separate hosting account for each client.

What do you think?

THanks

Hi cdsinc,

Early Impact runs several stores under one domain for our demos.  It’sreally simple to do, but I may be misunderstanding the post.  All you needto do is put each one in a separate folder and run the setup wizard.  Youshould buy a dedicated SSL as they are very affordable and 100% worth thenominal fees. Also make sure you don’t install multiple copies of the samelicense.  That’s all.  If you need to integrate each store into oneorder fulfillment center then it complex as netprofits indicated.  But, I believe, in your case they are separate so its no problem.

I have been digging into the manuals - you cant do this on a ParentPath disabled webhoste...

page 54: NOTE: you will not be able to use a shared SSL certificate if you are using the Parent Path Disabled version....

We haven't tried that. It sounds like it would work but I'm not sure.

Sorry, I should clarify more on this. 

 I want to run multiple instances of ProductCart under 1 domain name. Each instance will have its own license.  When it comes time for checkout, I will then redirect to the shared SSL for the domain name that will then point to each instance of product cart subfolder.

What I am going to do is buy a full product cart license for client 1 and install that under the main domain name.  Then, I will buy a full license for client 2 and install that under the same domain name. 

All that I will really be doing is renaming the default "productCart" folder to something unique for each end-client. They will pay for their own license - Im not trying to sqeeze multiple "stores/clients" out of 1 licesnse. 

Also, those links where just demos to show how it would actually look.

Thank you!

Im working with an ad specialty company - the sell shirts, promo items, etc. 

Im pretty sure this is technically possible, but Im Im wondering if anyone else has placed multiple "stores" under one domain name. Each store would have its own look/feel and would be like this:

www.AdCompany.com/client1/productcartfileshere

www.AdCompany.com/client2/productcartfileshere

Upon checkout, I would then shift to a shared SSL for the AdCompany.  Im trying to save the client as much $ as possible when it comes to them offering a "webstore" solution for the clients.

Thanks!
