We're thinking of creating microsites specifically aimed at each manufacturer we are districutors for. The idea is to use one main database to feed and administer all microsites.
Would anyone know how we'd structure this project, i.e. Could we have the microsites on individual hosting servers (same hosting company on shared servers)? or would we have to use a hosting company that allows several sites on one hosting package so the sites could share the same database?
What other implications may we come accross?

Hope somes has tackled this before and sorry for the 'off topic' post.

Thanks in advance
