Attico International leverages the Drupal multisite feature to help business owners build and maintain multiple websites that share a single codebase, thus effectively reducing TCO and facilitating their management.
Drupal multisite is a feature of Drupal that allows multiple websites to be served from a single codebase, whereas each site has its own database, configuration, files, and base domain or URL.
This feature is particularly useful for business owners who manage multiple websites that mostly share the same features and looks. Opting for a multisite aids in the update of their functionality and outlook as the changes are implemented only once for the entire range of websites.
Shared vs. dedicated entities Running a multisite setup enables businesses to choose which specific entities they want to share across the spectrum of their sites and which entities they want to keep unique.
You can opt for having either shared or unique content for each of the sites in a multisite setup.
You can either share modules and their customizations between your sites or have different ones on each site.
You can choose which elements of the configuration should be shared between multiple sites.
You can pick a site-specific theme or have the same theme with or without minor changes across all sites.

By using a single codebase, you can save on development costs by not having to create related sites from scratch. This can be especially beneficial if your website family is going to have similar functionality, share important Drupal modules, or use the same Drupal distribution.
Managing multiple websites becomes more efficient with Drupal multisite. You can perform certain actions, such as website upgrades, content sharing, and making changes, on one site without having to repeat them on all the others.
Multisite architecture makes it easier to stick to brand guidelines for design across websites. This can ensure a consistent look and feel for your brand across different sites.
With Drupal multisite, the new website of your brand can be spun up more easily due to a shared codebase and a streamlined deployment process for all sites in the multisite mix.
