Hi,

If I have a template site with everything configured the way I wanted. I want to have users to sign up to create the similar website and then upload configure the site using their own content.

Is there a difference between using Multi Sites to create a slave site which is a copy of original site compares to creating another user account using my Host Reseller account and then copy the template joomla directory over?

Lets assumed that I don't care about installing joomla updates or extension updates.

It seems like create a separate user account would be cleaner and easier.

The $$ cost is not an issue. I just want to know which is the better option, easier option, easier to maintain etc...I just don't want to go down the wrong path then have to re-setup everything.

Thanks
Doug

The problem you will encounter with another reseller account is relative to folder permissions.
When you are using different account, the permission will not let you use the symbolic link and create the bdrige between the different domains.

The easiest method consists to "AddOn" a domain an a same account to avoid permission issue.

The concept of JMS is to share the same files and folder on the disk.
So if you are on another account, you will not be able to share the files and folder or this may become difficult to manage the unix group to grant the permission.
