deploy asp.net solution to multiple hosting systems

Question

I am working on an asp.net solution and using my remote testing environment with godaddy. The application is ready for deployment so i have two questions: 1- since the database will be different , i am thinking about using a different Web.config , but not sure how does it work and how to implement that so i can choose easily which web config depending on the poriject/solution

2- the solution i am working on could be personalized and deployed to multiple clients , so each client version will be different (Like the logo and other stuff not the design and functionality), do i need to create separate solution for each client or should i create a separate website project instead?

what's best practices in this case

Use configurations and associated config transforms. By default, your project gets a Debug and Release configuration, but you can add additional configurations. Then, for each configuration, you can have a separate Web.config transform, Web.Server1.config, Web.Server2.config, Web.Client1.config, Web.Client2.config, etc. When publishing, you choose which configuration you want to publish with, and that associated transform will be run against the Web.config file to change out connection strings, app settings, whatever.
