Reserved Cloud Server Multiple Domains / Multi Site with Expression Engine

I am looking at installing a multi site version of Expression Engine. Typically you would create your main domain folder /domain1.com and have your expression engine install located there. For additional domains you would create an add-on domain (cpanel / media templae etc) and would be automatically created /domain2.com folder. You would then place an index.php file that would use the Expression Engine System folder within /domain1.com. Is this possible with Everleap? If i create a new Site on Everleap is it able to access the /domain1.com folder structure? If not any suggestions on how to get this working? For reference here is the documentation on setting it up typically:

Ryan, This is from the DiscountASP.NET Knowledge Base, but it will work the same way here on Everleap (and can be adapted to work with domains rather than subdomains).

For what it's worth, you can also host a Multi-site plan on a Reserved Cloud Server, that might be worth considering.

 

Thanks MJP for the quick response!

I actually did give that read. I do have the Multi Site plan... and was going to setup 3 sites. Just wondering if you are able to access the other sites directly via a folder structure. So if i place files in domainname2.com's webroot can i access domainname1.com's folders where the CMS files are? This way I can use Expression Engine to manage all 3 sites from a single dashboard.

 

Booo ok well if you have any suggestions that would be much appreciated. Was really hoping to port all my sites over

Here's what they suggest: https://ellislab.com/expressionengine/user-guide/cp/sites/domainsetup.html but maybe using folders on domainname1.com and domain name pointers with redirects to a sub folder with a separate index.php file would work as it could access the folder above?

Thanks,
Ryan
