# Example Set-Up

 * I have an existing site which runs one set of HTML and includes dynamic content
   switches for 60 different domains. It was built years ago and still works fine.
   The idea is for each domain to serve a single website but key elements switch
   out, e.g meta tags, heading tags, phone number and location names for example.
 * My client wants to move to WordPress so I am looking at this plugin.
 * As others have said, there are no instructions or guides. Can you give an example
   of the DNS or at least clarify for me please?
 * example.co.uk * the base domain
 * example2.co.uk * additional domain which needs to load the content of example.
   co.uk BUT retain example2.co.uk in the URL
 * Requirement
    On the main domain e.g example.co.uk if they navigate to contact
   page, the URL will become example.co.uk/contact
 * Will your plugin allow masking e.g example2.co.uk/contact
 * Can you give me an example of the DNS you set for the additional domains?
 * I am guessing I don’t need to add a path, if I seek to achieve the above?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fexample-set-up%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)

 * Hello,
 * It’s complicated to provide DNS setup steps because they may vary a lot depending
   on your hosting provider and/or domain registrar. That’s why the FAQ simply states:“
   You have to set additional domains, DNS, and everything else to use this plugin.”.
   I’ll be trying to improve the answers in a near future to give some generic domain
   setup instructions.
 * Anyway, answering your questions:
 * > Will your plugin allow masking e.g example2.co.uk/contact?
 * If you mean when a user is browsing through example2.co.uk and clicks on a “/
   contact” link, then yes. The host will be kept and the URL will be “example2.
   co.uk/contact”.
 * > Can you give me an example of the DNS you set for the additional domains?
 * You just have to point all the domains to the same WordPress installation. E.
   g. the WordPress host IP is 1.2.3.4, then you have to add A records pointing 
   to that address. It’s likely your hosting provider has some feature called “domain
   alias” or something similar. There you should be able to point additional domains
   to the same site.
 * > I am guessing I don’t need to add a path, if I seek to achieve the above?
 * You’re right. If you want to see the same set of pages on every site/domain, 
   you don’t need to fill in the path input.
 * Let me know in case you have further questions.

 * Thanks Gustavo. I appreciate your effort responding.
 * I will test and update this ticket with any advise which might help others. I
   am running WHM/CPanel servers. I will just point domain to same server, add it
   as ‘domain alias’ into CPanel and leave it set to load the public_html directory.
 * Thanks for writing the plugin.
