I like "site" :-)

This would mean: if "Jim's Praxis" as an conceptual entity
has two "manifestations" it would have one row in

        dem.org

and two rows in

        dem.org_site

Likewise, the University of Leipzig will have many sites
some of which share addresses, say, the neurology ambulance
and the neurosurgery ambulance.
