Multisite with multiple domains?

    I have a project that needs a WordPress site to use multiple domains.

    All the domains are considered components of one complete site. The navigation bar contains links to each of the domains. Each domain represents a specific product.

    The client wants to be able to work with all these domains from the one WordPress installation.

    I understand that Multisite uses either folders or subdomains. Is there a way to use multisite with top level domains instead of subdomains?

    I found this plugin: http://wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-mu-domain-mapping/ but I don’t think it does what we need. Hoping to find advice in this forum. Thanks.

    Multisite with Domain Mapping sounds like your solution, as I understand your situation. Whether you select subdomains vs subdirectories is sort of up to your preference. Since you probably won’t be using the URLs of your subsites publicly, I’ll suggest subdirectories, so you won’t have to worry about the wildcard subdomain. Once you’ve set up your multisite and subsites, you can then use the Domain Mapping to get your subsites to look like they are top level domains. So you’ll have something like hxxp://multisite.com/roundwidget, which redirects to hxxp://roundwidget.com. All of the files and data will live in your multisite and the TLD is just the facade. And you can have a subsite for each of the TLDs that you want to use, each with their own personality.
