When you host multiple sites, you select global organization tasks and settings that apply to all sites, as well as site-specific tasks and settings for each default, parent, and child site. Your website always includes a default site, and you can create an unlimited number of additional sites. You can create any combination of parent and child sites, and the program does not limit the hierarchy structure. For example, you can create multiple parent and child sites, and child sites can be parent sites to additional child sites.
Multiple sites can benefit your organization in several ways. You can create sites for intranets, chapters, affiliates, and large campaigns, and you can customize their content, appearance, and security for targeted audiences. You can also hide sites that should not appear on the Internet and archive old sites.
Note: Your Online Campus Community website can include multiple websites. However, all Online Campus Community parts and pages must live on one site. You cannot include these parts and pages on multiple sites. For more information about Online Campus Community parts, see OCC Parts. For more information about Online Campus Community pages, see Overview of Campus Page Types.
