Question ID: 559860
We have about 200 templated websites created in HTML, each with their
own account on our server. It's become too time consuming to manage
200 accounts.

What we'd like to do is put those 200 website in folders on one mega
site, and have individual domain names pointing to the appropriate
folders. That's the easy part.

Our challenge is figuring out a way to point those domain names and
make it look like its going to individual sites and not folders off
one big site.

For example every site has advertising such as
www.clientsdomain.com/offer5.htm. so not only would it have to go to
the individual folder it would also have to pull up a sub file or
folder.

Also, each client needs to have their own email with their own domain
(the same that?s used in their templated site)

How to we create something like this?

Howdy jessedee-ga,

It would help researchers to know the operating system that is running
on your server.  Thanks!

Greatly appreciate your patience with the clarification process, jessedee-ga.

If you post a sample <VirtualHost> entry from your httpd.conf file, or the
equivalent, that would help immensely.  Feel free to "anonymize" the domain
information if you desire.  Thanks!

Here's a sample:

ApplewoodRealEstate.com points to 

megarealestatesites.com/applewood

but users see: ApplewoodRealEstate.com and when they enter the site
they see the appropriate extensions ie.
ApplewoodRealEstate.com/members/freebookdownload.htm

or, a user is able to enter
ApplewoodRealEstate.com/members/freebookdownload.htm and it would pull
up the real location of that folder (masked ofcourse) which would be
megarealestatesites.com/applewood/members/freebookdownload.htm

also, 

email accounts would need to be set up for each users own domain.

Jesse
