Wordpress is also the only CMS that offers multisite hosting - single codebase, single webserver, one docker container - for running multiple sites with different configuration.

You wanna run 2 blogs on Ghost - run 2 instances, same for _everything but Wordpress_.

Well, Drupal has multisite capability, too. I don't think using multisite is actually that good an idea. Having two separate websites be dependent on the same codebase is very prone to cause serious life cycle problems. I'd advice against using multisite on WP or Drupal.

We have been doing this successfully for many years, no problems. Some multi site installs have up to 300 sites running on them. You have to know when to use the available technology.

Spot on. I am currently working on a project that has over 25,000 multisites running in WordPress Multisite. The amazing thing besides the sheer number is WordPress has not been a problem, throw it on AWS and the scaling issues are solved. People who proclaim that WordPress can't scale have never built anything scalable with it.

Textpattern does that easily enough. You can even run your admin stuff on a different domain if you so desire.

Typo3 can do that too.
