With Cloudways, you can host unlimited websites, but you pay for only what you use. No more, no less with our customer.
What is WordPress Multisite?
Multisite in WordPress allows for the centralized management of multiple websites from a single WordPress dashboard, making it a convenient option for companies and brands.
For example, if you have 3 different WordPress websites, you'd have to log out of one dashboard to work on another. But with multisite, you can log in to a single WordPress dashboard and quickly switch between different sites using a dropdown menu.
When should we use multisite hosting for WordPress?
Multisite hosting is ideal for people looking to save time and conveniently manage multiple WordPress websites.
With multisite, you can add/remove/update plugins and themes across all the sites within the network, reducing the time and effort required to install and update these assets on an individual site.
Does WordPress multisite install count as 1 WP installation?
Yes, WordPress multisite counts as a single WordPress installation, as you can host multiple domains on a single network.
How many maximum sites can be managed by WordPress multisite hosting server?
You can host unlimited sites in a WordPress multisite network. The number of sites a network can have is only limited by the capacity of its infrastructure.
Can I use any themes and plugins for my WordPress multisite network?
Yes, you can use multiple plugins and themes with similar functionality for different websites in a WordPress multisite network. However, you need to specifically select the website on which you want to use them. If you activate the plugin or a theme for the entire network, it will automatically apply to all sites within the network.
Does the WordPress performance increases or decrease with multisite hosting?
Managing multiple sites within a network can add extra load and potentially impact performance if not properly optimized. So, as the number of websites on the server increases, the server performance may decline. Luckily with Cloudways you get optimized performance on all your sites, helping you manage multisite with ease.
What is the difference between hosting for WordPress vs. WordPress multisite hosting?
Hosting for WordPress is specifically optimized for running a single site. It often comes with pre-installed WordPress software, automatic updates, and technical support designed for WordPress users.
On the other hand, WordPress multisite hosting is specifically designed to support a multisite network, helping you manage multiple sites from a single dashboard. It offers the same features as regular hosting for WordPress but with additional technical support and optimizations to handle the added complexity of managing multiple sites.
How to manage domain mapping with WordPress Multisite on Cloudways?
Mapping your WordPress multisite domains is super easy, thanks to the intuitive Cloudways Application Management panel. Follow the steps below:
