Guys.....

I guess on seeing the subject I bet you're first thought was "oh no not again".

But seriously, I have a domain of jbo.com.au registered and it is this that I think of as a domain. So by saying that I get 4 domains with member ship would mean that I could use a template twice on www.jbo.com.au and images.com.au which is two hosts within the same domain. Is this a correct assumption?

Second question. I do the work of building these sites in vmware and run them in the TLD .tst. I know this is not a valid TLD and it only lives in the hosts file on the laptop but it means I can build and test "off-line" on the train into the office. How does the whole domain thing work in this case?

Regards & Thanks

Mikek, surely a localhost setup is considered 0 domains for membership purposes. It wouldn't make sense any other way. If I develop a site for someone for their domain, and do the development on my own local server, that would surely be 1 domain used with regards to membership, not 2.

Mikek.....

I noticed a mistake in my original post which may have caused confusion.

My test environment is: jbo.tst this runs on vmware on my laptop and is accessed via a static entry in the lmhosts file.

My live environment is www.jbo.com.au.

From what I read then the jbo.tst is not counted as a domain. As I have acquired an unlimited licence this is a little academic however seems someone else want to know as well.

The original question should have been: my domain is jbo.com.au well at least as I understand it,

So if I use a template on the following sites:

http://www.jbo.com.au
http://images.jbo.com.au
http://vk2us.jbo.com.au
http://callme.jbo.com.au

Then this is 4 sites / hosts however it is all in the same domain. Is this one or four domains?

If your usage of the term domain is in alignment with everyone else then this would be one licence. If you see it as four then the question is is it site based or host based?

If it is four then it appears to be host based licencing rather than domain. Which means if the template is used on the same URL on a large site that employs load sharing across say four hosts then this would be four licences.

To date only one site with one of your templates is alive, http://vk2us.id.au/ , which works very well and more are soon to come.
