The way our system works, there are 2 possible setups.

1) You can use 1 unique database and content folder per domain/site. If you use this setup, content cannot be shared between sites.

2) All Access Network Setup. This is the monster setup, the mother of all content sharing scenarios, the one all the big programs use.

With this setup you have 1 (often massive) database of all content which then gets served out to multiple front ends. This setup is a bit custom so it's something we do for an additional setup fee of $995.

The all access setup allows you to have a master/parent/hub site which lists all the updates for the network and then each sub-site lists only the niche specific content relative to that domain.

You can choose which sites to include as part of the network in case you want to market multiple sites with duplicate or similar content selections without your members seeing the duplicate sites.

When a member logs into the main site they see what's new and what's been added to each of the sub-sites and can also search the entire network, etc. The member can then click to go into a niche site and will only see the updates and top rated lists, etc. for that site and each sub-site can have its own design and use its own domain despite all the sites sharing 1 content database.

This allows a cash program to market an "all access pass" membership as well as promote each individual site since although they share the same content source, each site has its own domain and can still be treated as a separate site that's not part of the network.

So I guess the short answer is yes, there is a fee for this but we've taken content sharing to a whole other level.

The reason we opted for this and not just a simple content sharing method is that we need even the smallest Elevated X cms user to be able to scale easily if and when the time comes and their business grows in size.

I'm not a big fan of having someone cannibalize their own content pool unless they also have the ability to use it to build themselves a massive network in the process or at least have that option down the road.

I hope all of this made sense. Feel free to ICQ or call me if you have questions or want more info.
