If I understand the questions (and it is possible I don’t so some clarity would be nice). You have multiple domain names and you would like to run WordPress on them all.
You have two options here
- Install multiple copies of WordPress (one for each domain) the
folder structure of this method is entirely up to you/your server
settings how multiple domains are handled. - Install WordPress Multi-Site (or network) and likely the MU Domain Mapping Plugin this will let you have one installation with multiple domain names. By default you will have a “main domain” and all plugins/themes will be shared with the option to turn them on/off on a per account bases. All sites will have a unique uploads folder in
blog.dir/#(where#is the blog’s ID. The sites will all share the same database with individual tables for each site on the network.
The method you choose really depends on what you are trying to do.
Method 1
Pros:
- Each site lives on it’s own and has it’s own database
- If something breaks with one site it doesn’t take down the network
Cons:
- Can be a pain to manage/upgrade
- Users/accounts can be harder to link as you are dealing with different servers
Method 2
Pros:
- Super easy to mange/upgrade
- Everything is in one place
- Shared database makes connections between sites (such as customer/user info) easy
Cons:
- Can be hard to set up initially
- If something breaks all sites could crash
- All plugins/themes are linked (although individual access can be controlled)
- Some plugins/themes don’t work with Multi-Site
