[QUOTE="michelangelo, post: 1756507, member: 54225"] Thanks DianeVan, for responding to the core of my question (when I suggested that "[I]The above may be a silly (unrealistic) way of addressing the question[/I]") rather than the details of my hypothetical course of action. I was focused on subdomains, shutting my eyes to structure. Your reply centers on structure, in a most elegant way I would not even have thought possible. The current website is sitting in a folder located at toot, structured with files and folders, files and sub-folders, and sub-sub..., probably five levels deep, made with BBEdit, SeaMonkey, WebsiteMaestro and Transmit. Some may say (have said) about it: "Dinosaur website". If I were to build the new website the same [dinosaur-like] way, I trust your suggestion would beat all other alternatives I have been thinking in my mind. My question to you, to the community therefore becomes: can I, indeed, just make a new directory in the root of the current one and create inside this new directory a Joomla (or WordPress) new website and instruct the Joomla-robot to put all its new files in that directory for such Joomla new site ? Or do these robot site builders like Joomla or Wordpress need their own piece of server real-estate close to root to live and prosper and feel offended (prevented from working efficiently) at being surrounded by alien hand-made files and folders ? Again, thanks. [/QUOTE]
