Site-wide installation for many virtual hosts

[lowrykun]

I'm just wondering if it is possible to install KK in a site-wide installation so that one installation can serve multiple virtual hosts? For example, if you had hundreds of clients, could you use KK to provide them with a shopping cart application where we could maintain KK in a centralized installation but allow the customer to customize their store? Or is the configuration and the database specifically tailored toward a single installation?

Think about sites like Volusion, Yahoo Stores, or Monster Commerce. Is there a way to use KK to provide create this type of business?

Thanks.

Hi,

Each store needs to be a separate web app in the app server and needs a unique database user. Our tests have shown that a 4GB 2CPU server can support about 40 stores.

This architecture allows you to manage each store independently from the others since each store owner has a unique Admin App instance which only manages the data of that store.
