Not sure if this still applies, but if you're going to be using SSL, Verisign certs used to work for all subsites, if they were setup as company.com/sub1, etc. Meaning that you could use the same cert for all of those, instead of needing separate certs. Of course, that's years ago, so I could be way off by now... Joe Heaton

We will be using IIS (this has been decided by others, and I can't change it). Should subsites be: www.subsite.ourdomain.com or www.ourdomain.com/subsite Which is better practice? We will be spreading across multiple servers, with each server hosting one or two subsites. If the latter, what the preferred way of setting things up so the subsite gets pointed to the right server? I know it's Friday. If you want to wait until Monday, that's fine with me. Have a great weekend.
