How to implement regional divisions in Joomla?

Question

Joomla

Hello. I continue to study the functionality of Joomla.
It is necessary to rank the site in different regions.
There are two ways, these are subdomains and subfolders
spb.site.ru
ekb.site.ru
site.ru/sbp/site.ru/ekb/ What
would
you advise to solve this problem on Joomla?

Answer 1

1) Definitely - subdomains, not subfolders.
2) Each subdomain can be made as an independent site on Joomla OR as one of the variants of One single site with thoughtful multisite support:
2.1) Each subdomain is an independent site. The option is good because the sites for the regions are completely autonomous. The bad thing is that each city (site) must be serviced separately. For example, if you make some kind of site improvement, you will need to do this for all city sites - as many times as there are.
2.2) A single site that works differently depending on how it was opened (through which subdomain). There are such solutions (not free, but worth it). You can set it up very custom (up to auto-selection of a site template for a subdomain, auto-substitution of a phone number and other contacts, etc.). In this option, making, for example, improvements will work immediately for all subdomains.

Answer 2

There are two ways to solve it: through the built-in support for multilingualism (for the place of languages, regions, for the option with folders) or through the Virtual Domains extension . I did it through an extension, but it was a long time ago and everything has already been forgotten. But the essence is the same in both options, different regions have different materials / modules.
