  "textContent": "Running multiple Ghost publications under a single domain usually comes with a cost: reverse proxies, custom routing, and ongoing maintenance.\n\nThat’s no longer the case on Synaps Media.\n\nYou can now run any of your Ghost sites as a subdirectory of another — without touching infrastructure.\n\n## What this means\n\nLet’s say you have two sites:\n\n  * myblog.com\n  * mijnblog.nl\n\n\n\nWith subdirectory installs, you can run **mijnblog** under **myblog.com/nl** (or any path you choose).\n\nThis isn’t a workaround or a custom setup. You don’t need to configure a reverse proxy, adjust server rules, or manage routing yourself. You simply enable the feature, and it works.\n\nEnabling Subdirectory install for a site on Synaps Media Panel\n\nThis is possible because Synaps Media already manages your sites as part of a unified multi-site system. Subdirectory installs extend that system to the routing layer — so separate sites can behave like a single structure when needed.\n\n## Why you’d use this\n\nSubdirectories are more than a URL preference. They allow multiple sites to operate as a coordinated system instead of isolated instances.\n\n### Shared newsletter quota\n\nSites under the same domain share their email limits. If each site has 2,000 emails per month, combining them under one domain effectively gives you a shared pool of 4,000.\n\nUsage is handled automatically:\n\n  * Emails are first deducted from the sending site\n  * Then from the root site\n  * Then from other connected sites\n\n\n\nThis removes artificial limits between related publications and gives you more flexibility in how you use your quota.\n\n### Unlimited subdirectory sites\n\nYou can create as many subdirectory sites as you need under a single domain.\n\nThis makes it easy to structure your content:\n\n  * language versions (`/en`, `/de`, `/fr`)\n  * separate sections (`/blog`, `/podcast`, `/docs`)\n  * distinct publications under one brand\n\n\n\nAll without additional setup.\n\n### Lower cost with multi-site discount\n\nSubdirectory installs also benefit from the existing 10% multi-site discount. In practice, this means you’re not just simplifying your setup, you’re reducing cost while doing it.\n\n## What you don’t need anymore\n\nWith subdirectory installs, several common requirements disappear:\n\n  * Reverse proxy configuration\n  * Server-level routing\n  * Additional infrastructure\n  * Ongoing maintenance for custom setups\n\n\n\nIf your root site is already running on Synaps Media, everything is handled for you.\n\n## Where this fits\n\nThis feature is especially useful if you’re:\n\n  * Running multi-language publications\n  * Managing multiple brands under one domain\n  * Organizing content into focused sections while keeping SEO consolidated\n  * Migrating from a self-hosted setup with custom routing\n  * Using different themes or branding under a single domain\n\n\n\n## Final note\n\nA common reason for self-hosting Ghost is the flexibility to control routing and structure. Subdirectory installs on Synaps Media remove that trade-off. You get the same flexibility, without managing the infrastructure behind it.\n\nThis feature is now available for all Synaps Media publications, without any extra costs, by enabling in the panel.\n\nTo learn more about Subdirectory Install feature on Synaps Media, you can read our document.",
