Hi everyone,
I have been on the forum for hours, searched google and also watched the gotdrupal video entitled "multi site vs multi installation". I thought the latter might solve my problem.
In a nutshell, I host sites already using umbraco (each a separate install). I have switched to drupal now. I will be setting up 5 or so completely unrelated websites from scratch using drupal on a package which allows for 10 domains.
Now, would people suggest going down the multi site route or the multiple installation route? I can see the (potential) security issues with multi site plus the fact if something goes wrong, all sites are affected. I like the fact with a multi install that each site can be handled separately.
I have read about drush, and still have no idea how to use it (actually...or what it does?!), although I read another post that it can make upgrading easy. If this was the case I would 100% go the multiple install route. But would I even get shell access on my hosting plan? It will have cpanel but I can't see it allowing me much more than that without me having to upgrade my account.
