One big site

I’ve always had a dream, to have only one site, one url for everything I host. A site to contain:

1. My company
2. My hosting company division
3. My blog
4. My new script (Stat Monster)
5. My ‘hub‘
6. My CSS gallery

I believe that’s it currently. I would just love to have them all under one site, one directory, one design. Of course, that would be really stupid. But from an organization point of view, one site with other sites based as subdirectories is best right? Having one header file, one footer file, one design to manage, one site for people to visit. Yeah it would have benefits but would it be better than multiple domains like the current set up?

the now

Currently on the web most people who have multiple sites or types of content to host, use multiple domains/designs/sites. I have it too, as shown above. The closest site I can think of to what I want is google. They have everything or almost everything under one general design and one main domain. Yeah, they have a billion domains but they all redirect to directories or subdomains of google.com. I can see that from many point of view’s, this is a much much better way of organizing data. As for everyone else, people seem to choose one of two routes: having a ‘hub’ with all their sites branching off that site. Or, simply having multiple sites. For some reason this set up just annoys me.

What d’ya think?
