Multiple localized domains with similar content

[Clay213]

I'm not sure if this is the correct forum, but I am looking for some general advice on how to handle this.

I have a handful of domains that are localized by city

For example:

Bostondomainname.com
NewYorkdomainname.com

etc

These sites basically contain the same graphics and forms, but with different wording depending on the city. Obviously the Boston site will need to appear relevant to Boston and not New York.

I am hosting this on a shared hosting service that allows me to add unlimited domains. Should I have them all point to the same directory and use some sort of coding such as:

if(domain = bostondomainname.com)
{ Show boston content}

Or use separate folders for each domain and a folder with common elements that can be included in each site?

Thanks for the help

Wouldn't that completely depend on the system you're using on your back end? There's no standard way of handling this.

I would tend to putting everything in it's own folder. Easier to manage changes that way.
