 * Hi there,
 * I really didn’t want to end up on a forum and thought this was something i could
   complete myself. But here we are. 🙁
 * I have just set up multisite on my client’s primary domain [careyindustrial.com.au](http://careyindustrial.com.au).
   In addition to this there are 6 other domains that will use similar themes and
   database structure but for a few minor differences e.g. colour scheme, logo and
   copy.
 * I can access the ‘Add New Site’ section of the dashboard but am only presented
   with an option for subdomains.
 * Is Multisite right for what I am trying to achieve?
    Do the other domains use
   the same wordpress installation or do there wordpress istallations sit in seperate
   folders and then the admin system links to those?
 * Thanks for any help,
 * Phil

 * Hi, I’m no expert, but WordPress multisite is only for multiple sites using subdomains
   and directories. A key example being to let an end user create a (sub)site for
   himself. I don’t think you can run the same installation against multiple domains.
