 * I’m not able to confirm something.
    Is this plugin just to make sites to pages
   on other sites or to host multiple domains on the same WP instances, usually 
   called multisite.

 * With Domain Mapping System, you can have multiple domains pointed to your single(
   non-multisite) WordPress instance.
 * Then, you can choose how to map those domains to specific pages/posts or groups
   of pages/posts.
 * While we are working on many other features that make Domain Mapping System a
   multisite alternative, there are some key differences now.
 * For instance, multisite divides up your WordPress installation into sub-sites
   that can only be accessed by certain users. Those sites can be assigned domains
   as well, but they are really like wholly different sites that can have plugins
   and themes independently activated on them.
 * Domain Mapping System may allow similar features in the future, but there are
   capabilities we won’t implement simply because of the nature of multisite. You
   can check our Roadmap on our website [https://domainmappingsystem.com/roadmap/](https://domainmappingsystem.com/roadmap/)
   and also make feature requests there.
 * Please let me know if I can clarify the differences any further or answer or 
   other questions.

 * Ah, I see, it’s not a multisite mapping but may have benefits for what I seek.
   Thanks.

 * One more question since this is something that could be very useful depending
   on the answer.
 * I have different web sites that act as resellers or stand alone sites. I would
   love to have one single place to maintain pages/posts for all of those but I 
   would not want visitors to know they are being redirected to another site’s info.
 * Does it hide all of that so that visitors would not know the pages are coming
   from a single site?

 * Hi [@bloggy2013](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bloggy2013/) – sorry for
   the delayed reply. Not sure how I missed this follow up question!
 * In our PRO version, we are currently working on a “URL rewrite” feature that 
   should be available in the coming weeks. That means that every URL on a page 
   with a mapped domain will be rewritten to the mapped domain. This won’t be available
   in the Free version, as it’s taking quite some customization and time to develop
   on our side.
 * At this point, when you map a domain with the Free version, the URLs on the page
   will stay as they are originally.
