register your models and ``ModelAdmin`` instances with it.
If you'd like to set up your own administrative site with custom
behavior, however, you're free to subclass ``AdminSite`` and override
or add anything you like. Then, simply create an instance of your
``AdminSite`` subclass (the same way you'd instantiate any other
Python class), and register your models and ``ModelAdmin`` subclasses
with it instead of using the default.
When constructing an instance of an ``AdminSite``, you can provide
a unique instance name using the ``name`` argument to the constructor. This
instance name is used to identify the instance, especially when
:ref:`reversing admin URLs <admin-reverse-urls>`. If no instance name is
provided, a default instance name of ``admin`` will be used.
See :ref:`customizing-adminsite` for an example of customizing the
:class:`AdminSite` class.
