    I'm working on offering "premium" services to my users. One of the cool things I'd like to offer is the ability for the user to register a domain through the site, and run the blog off this domain.
    Is it possible to tweak MU so that a given blog is run off http://www.anotherdomain.com instead of subdomain.domain.com ?

    it looks like it kinda is yeah (although not 100%)
    So it seems basically you only have to create a new site in the sites table using the other domain, and you can now host
    blogs in xyz.site1.com or abc.site2.com .
    My question is, if a user had previously xyz.site1.com, and wants to run it off http://www.hisdomain.com, how exactly would that happen ? I should create a hisdomain.com siteid, then change is subdomain to www ? Sounds kinda weird, and I'm not sure this wouldn't create problems since xyz is his login name.
    Also I don't want anyone else to be able to create blogs off hisdomain.com...
