I would like to setup multiple sites on a single BBNC instance, but many of the sites have their own domains? Is this possible?

Christopher Archambault

The documentation mentions /directory or sub domains, but not completely separate domains.

Hey Chris,



Subdomain are no different than completely separate domains when it comes to setting this up in NetCommunity. Exactly what we need to do here will depend on your hosting situation, so I recommend creating a case to discuss this.



/directory can be set up with your friendly URLs. This is a field on the page properties of every page.



Thanks!

Under Administration - Sites & Settings, you can set up completely different domains for different websites within one BBNC instance. If Blackbaud hosts your BBNC, you will need to coordinate with them on a few minor updates to the backend setup. You'll also need to apply for the SSL certificates, of course. But otherwise, they allow you up to three different URLs/sites within one BBNC at no extra cost.

Hey Julie and Chris,



Just clarifying this a little bit. Not all packages of NetCommunity come with 3. Some come with only 1. If you create a case with us we'll verify all of this for your site.



Thanks!

Karen - In what scenario does it only have one? Is that Spark?

Hey Julie,



It's a little more nuanced than we can get into on a form, but basically yes. Spark is usually 1 and Grow or higher is usually 3. If it ever comes up for any of your clients you can reach out to their Account Executive to verify their limit.



Thanks!
