Are there any advantages/disadvantages to using SITE_ID in order to manage the sites framework in Django - as opposed to just relying on the hostname and allowing Django to "work out" the site based on that?
I need to provide multiple sites off the same codebase and the same database and I'm just trying to work out whether I need to set the SITE_ID or not.
If I want to use SITE_ID, I'll need a settings.py for each site - which means creating a separate web server (nginx) config for each site and some corresponding uwsgi stuff.
But in theory, I can take the SITE_ID out altogether, point the nginx config at the same server instance, have 1 settings.py and get_current_site will work out which site it's running on at runtime.
Is either way better than the other? If so, why?!
