Shape 5

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

Hi, the domain is your .com and what our membership and the way we price our memberships is based on how many domains you will use our products. So you can use as many modules products as you want on domain1.com and your next domain is domain2.com, etc.

Your localhost setup will be considered 1 domain for membership purposes.

Please let me know if you have any further questions.

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.

localhost depends on how you are using it. If it is just for development and will be uploaded later to a live site, then no it does not count. But a lot of our members use localhost as a local intranet domain within a work force; this would count as a domain.

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.

Hi Peter,

These:

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

Count as 4 separate domains, just to clear up the confusion.

Hi,

How about if using template in this domain (for example) :

http://www.rearberry.my

at the same time using same template to this domain (sub) :

http://www.rearberry.my/abc
http://www.rearberry.my/def
http://www.rearberry.my/ghi

is it count as 1 domain or 4 domains ? Please advise. Thank you

Hello,

If each of those subfolders is a separate Joomla installation then each one counts as a domain. If they're all pointing to the same installation then that's one domain.

Just want to add something. rearberry.my is one domain. Anything that's after "rearberry.my " is also one domain like

rearberry.my/aaa
rearberry.my/bbb


rearberry.com would be considered as another domain. Hope this helps.
