    Good morning! I’m going to install WordPress in my new domain, for example, web.com

    Now, i create 3 subdomains, test1.web.com, test2.web.com, test3.web.com

    3 subdomains will have the same content but the logo in the header for each subdomain will be different.

    Which is the best way to do this? Is it necessary 3 wordpress installation? And 3 subdomains?

    Thanks

    You could try a multisite installation: http://codex.wordpress.org/Create_A_Network you would still need to maintain three sites, but from a single admin area

    i’m trying to use it. There is only one problem that in maintain the three sites. But i can export/import every time i update something.
    Is there a possibility to change the logo depending from the website you are?
    For example, i’m at Web1.com and if i click that link the logo from my test.com site is Welcome web1 user. Also with Web2.com and the logo will be Welcome web2 user.
    Thanks

    A multisite won’t keep the content synchronised. I’ve never tried that.

    Having the same content on three sites could result in making google rank the sites badly.

    I’m not aware of any plugin that does this currently, but a developer could probably come up with a plugin that sets a cookie depending on the referrer, and displays the appropriate logo depending on the cookie.

    Other possibily maybe is have an iframe with the logo and the show the wordpress web on the iframe o similar. But, how to do it?
    Thanks!

    I don’t think an iframe will help.

    3 subdomains will have the same content but the logo in the header for each subdomain will be different.

    Don’t use Multisite for this.

    While I think this is a phenomenally terrible idea in general, if you wanted to do this in the least stressful way, you’d use relative URLs, park all three subdomains on top of the one true domain, and then put a check in the header for what teh URL is. If it’s test1 then use test1-header.jpg and so on.
