Shared app across domains?

I have a reseller account. I’d like to know if it’s possible for me to create some functionality that I’d could make available to anyone signing up for one of my plans.

Essentially, I want to create an ASP or CF application that is available to my clients. Almost like if I were to create a forum app or a blog app that I wanted to be available if someone purchased hosting from me.

But I don’t necessarily want to drop the source code into their web structure. I’d like to keep it at least partially proprietary.

Is there a way I could do this? I had thought that maybe I could create and host the app in my main hosting service website, then give my customers a way to map to it, but have it so that it shows up as part of their URL instead of mine? Is that possible?

Open to any suggestions.

Thanks! :smiley:

You and i seem to be on the same page with this. I plan on offering something similiar. The article below might interest you.

If i were you, i’d look into the idea of Smart Clients from Microsoft.

Robert,

I understand exactly what you are wanting to do, but with the way hsphere works, it will not work :frowning:

The only thing I cna think of is the DotNetNuke-like child portal setup, there are a few people using that, and it works well, but I do not know if you were planning on using .net or know how to do the programming for something like a child portal.

Thanks for the replies! I’ll look into both those possbilities.

Robert,

Have your clients/customers setup a subdomain like: blog.customersite.com which they will point to your app located on your server.

Enter spring street networks and their very popular personals app hosted entirely on their servers, but pointed to via personals.clientsite.comhttp://www.springstreetnetworks.com/spring.asp
