Describe the issue:

See this discussion on Our: https://our.umbraco.com/forum/using-umbraco-and-getting-started/94268-link-to-first-content-node-is-resetting-to-on-front-end-request

It isn't really explained anywhere in the docs, why the first node in an Umbraco site has the default / as it's url - in a single site, it's totally what you'd expect, and you don't query why it isn't /home.

In a multisite scenario, then if domains are set on the top level site nodes, it again behaves as expected, but if domains aren't set, then the first 'language/territory' site in the tree will have / instead of /us ... which provides confusion - so suggestion here is to add this explanation as a 'tip' in the Multilanguage-Setup tutorial page.
