A few years ago, I remember that I was struggling with several sites in the same situation with the domain where one of the sites was placed in the root directory.
While I was reading an authoritative post that clearly explained to me why this was a bad idea, I remember that the main problem is related to the cascading issue of web.config (forcing you to decompress conflicting links in child projects that are essentially foreign to this project ) From now on, I always hosted any website in my own virtual path, using a single redirect in the root to point to the default website.
I can no longer find this authoritative link, and deployment considerations may have changed since then.
What are the pros and cons of this scenario? I ask because the company I work with frowns, sharing deployments this way, and I donβt think this is a good idea.
