[solved] What are the Logistics of a cms with multiple domains and host?

Oh boy.  Just as I finished creating my Post and was ready to post it - my session timed out and I lost every bit of the Post.  Well, let me try again.

This is a general installation question not particular to a supported platform, but about the general "logistics" of placement of a cms.

Say I have 30 clients, each with their own domain.  I design 1 - 10 pages for each ones site and these domains are probably hosted by different host.  I need to control the original code (done in static XHTML and CSS), but I want to make it so each 'authorized' client/user can make "content only" changes to the pages for their individual site (They have to come to me for design changes.)

Is this possible?  Would I install ONE copy of CMSMS on my development computer and somehow each client/user could login to it and make content changes?  Or would I have to install copies of CMSMS on every host server where the individual domains are? That would be an even bigger task for me to maintain, wouldn't it?

I have read the Handbook all the way through and a lot of other materials, and maybe I am thick headed, but understanding the logistics of how to do this for multiple domains escapes me.  Would a domains site/pages be a "Group" on ONE installation of the CMSMS?

Help please. Thanks,
hc

I´m work on that but all domains have to stay at same host,
Briefly news is already in tests.


But it is not cmsms official is changed, but it is possible

"multisite" or "multidomain" capability was removed from the cmsms 2.0 roadmap; so it will be, as it is now: one site or domain == one installation of cmsms

Thanks for that reply Kermit.

You have cleared that up. Guess I will have to try and figure something else out.
