FAQ: Multi-site Management
Multi-site management in dotCMS means running every website you operate from one platform instance. dotCMS is multi-tenant: a single instance runs many sites, and each site has its own content, folder structure, templates, permissions, and domains. Corporate sites, brand sites, portals, intranets, and microsites all sit under one set of roles, permissions, and workflows instead of separate systems.
A single dotCMS instance can run hundreds of sites, and enterprise customers operate at that scale today: one dotCMS customer runs 700+ sites on the platform, and another runs 200+. Because every site lives in the same instance, a new site is incremental, not a new project.
Yes. In dotCMS, a new site can start as a copy of one you already run. You choose which objects to carry over, such as templates, containers, and pages, so a new brand, campaign, or region launches on a proven structure inside the same governance model as every other site. One dotCMS customer stands up around 25 new sites a week this way.
Yes. dotCMS includes a System Host, a global content store that every site on the instance can draw from. Content stored there, such as an alert or a legal disclaimer, is written once and displayed across all your sites, so one update reaches every site. Files, pages, templates, and containers can't live on the System Host, so teams share those through a dedicated shared-content site that other sites are given permission to use.
Yes. In dotCMS, content on a site is only accessible to users and roles granted access to that site, so a regional team can publish on its own site without touching anyone else's. Each workflow action is permissioned by role, which lets local editors draft while a central reviewer approves, and every saved edit is kept in version history.
In dotCMS, every language you add is available to every site on the instance, so you configure languages once rather than per site. You control which language a site serves with URL paths (such as /es/ or /fr/), Vanity URLs, or the Rules engine, so each regional site can lead with the language its audience expects.
