I’m new to Rails and even newer to Radiant. I think its great, and thanks for making it. I saw that Shopify is using it and I saw that you can host multiple sites with one installation and it piqued my curiosity. Could Radiant as it stands now be used to allow people/clients to manage their own websites but NOT be able to see the other sites it controls? For instance, could I become a pseudo-hosting service and set my clients up with their sites but keep them all separate from each other allowing them to have their own admin areas? If this can’t be done now, is this part of the plan? Thanks. Can’t wait to get familiar with Radiant. -Jim ---

I’m hoping to eventually set Radiant up as a hosted service like [wordpress.com](http://wordpress.com). So while the functionality to do it may not be in the core, there will probably be hooks so that you can set it up that way with a plugin or two. – John L.
