How to manage multiple domains in Django

If you have multiple domains that you want to manage in your Django application, you will need to set up your project to handle these configurations. Here are the steps to manage multiple domains in Django:

Step 1: Add domains to your settings.py file

    
    ALLOWED_HOSTS = ['www.domain1.com', 'domain1.com', 'www.domain2.com', 'domain2.com']
    
    

Open your settings.py file and add the domains that you want to manage in the ALLOWED_HOSTS list. Make sure to include both the www and non-www versions of each domain.

Step 2: Create URL patterns for each domain

    
    urlpatterns = [
        path('admin/', admin.site.urls),
        path('domain1/', include('app1.urls')),
        path('domain2/', include('app2.urls')),
    ]
    
    

In your main urls.py file, create URL patterns for each domain that you want to manage. Use the include function to include the URLs from the respective app for each domain.

Step 3: Configure the server for each domain

Depending on your hosting environment, you may need to configure the server to handle requests for each domain. For example, if you are using Nginx, you can configure server blocks for each domain in your Nginx configuration file.

Step 4: Handle requests for each domain in your views

    
    def domain1_view(request):
        # handle requests for domain1.com
  
    def domain2_view(request):
        # handle requests for domain2.com
    
    

In your views, you can use the request object to determine which domain the request is coming from and handle it accordingly.

By following these steps, you can manage multiple domains in your Django application and serve different content for each domain.
