Deploy multiple Web Site to one Azure service

Question

I am new to windows azure. I have requirement that I have to achieve. I have searched on the google but it was not useful. I have to deploy multiple web sites to 1 cloud service. Is there any possibility? I will make them ssl enabled with multiple certificates in one cloud service.

So url's will be like: https:// mysite/Home/

https:// mysite2/Home/

https:// mysite3/Home/

Actually my requirement is I should be able to deploy multiple web site and able to change the web.config after deployment. I think this we can do by enabling remote machine to the cloud service. After that we can login to remote machine and change the web.config file through iis manager. Am I correct?

Do we have any best way to achieve the requirement? I have to consider the minimum cost for this.

Thanks

This is an old post, but it shows how to run multiple websites in the same web role: http://www.wadewegner.com/2011/02/running-multiple-websites-in-a-windows-azure-web-role/

Regarding the changes in the web.config, you should not do that, because your instances may be changed, and those new instances will not have the modified file. All the configuration you are willing to change after deployment should be stored in the ServiceConfiguration.cscfg file. This way you can modify the configuration without redeploying, and the configuration is shared among all instances of the service.
