And just in case anyone is confused... there will be more than one site.
Today we've only fired up sandbox.microcosm.app
But the whole thing is a platform for many sites, and you won't all have to share the one site if you're wanting to create your own Microcosms.
You can imagine:
mhbp.microcosm.app for Manchester Polo
tabs.microcosm.app for TABS
lfgss.microcosm.app for LFGSS
Each site is given a subdomain of their own, and the site is fully self-contained with no knowledge of other sites.
At this point you can stop. You're done... you've created a site and you could use the address we've given you perfectly well. Time taken to create a site of your own? Barely 30 seconds.
Or... additionally... you could put your own domain name on it. Once a subdomain has been created and you have your site established... you can then CNAME any domain name onto the site.
So... www.lfgss.com would point at lfgss.microcosm.app and everyone would see and use www.lfgss.com*
And MHBP might use forums.mhbp.co.uk for their custom domain.
So just in case there is confusion... sandbox represents a single site on the platform, and the platform is designed to take thousands of sites.
*except for API access which would still use the lfgss.microcosm.app route as API must be over SSL and we aren't forcing every front-end to be on SSL).
