How are domain names managed in My Domains vs Force.com Sites in Sandbox vs Production?
I am trying to understand how domains are used under "Domain Management" vs how a domain is set from "Develop"->"Sites"
We currently have two domains setup under Domain Management. "mycompany.force.com" & "mycompany.my.salesforce.com". Currently "mycompany.force.com/xxx" is setup to point to a communities site.
We want to create a force.com site and it tells us that we need to register a force.com domain. So we try to do that using the domain "mycompany". But it says that the domain is already in use. Is that because we are using it for the communities site? If so, is there a way to use it in both?
Also once we do lock in on the domain we want to use, should we create it in the sandbox first? So in the sandbox would it be created as "mysandbox-mycompany.xxxxx.force.com". Then on the production instance it would be "mycompany.force.com"? Or would creating it in the sandbox steal it away from production.

What I know is that for your mycompany domain you can attach multiple sites with /xxx after your registered domain.I am attaching snapshots for you.
If this helps,please mark it as best answer.
Thanks for the reply. Yes, i understand how to create multiple force.com sites with /xxx after a domain has been registered. I am currently trying to understand registering the domain its self. and specifically if domains can be shared across a communities site and force.com sites. And in Sandbox vs. Production like in the original question. Let me know if i need to clarify.
