Aegir different site folder from site name When you create a new site in Aegir it creates the a directory using the sitename in the corresponding platform. So if the site name is example.com the path for the site will be /var/aegir/platforms/platform_name/sites/example.com/.

Is there a way to create the site in a different directory, like:  /var/aegir/platforms/platform_name/sites/my_awsome_path/?
Using a different sitename would be your best option. You could then add an alias for the real sitename.
