Start My Free MigrationsFrequently Asked Questions
What should I look for when choosing a WordPress Multisite hosting provider?
Look for a host that offers scalable cloud infrastructure, automated backups, staging environments, and centralized site management. Cloudways gives you all of these out of the box, with a choice of five cloud providers and a pre-optimized server stack built for WordPress performance.
Does Cloudways offer staging for WordPress Multisite?
Yes. Every Cloudways plan includes a one-click staging environment, so you can safely test updates, plugin changes, and design tweaks before pushing them live across your network.
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 hosting for WordPress Multisite server?
There is no fixed limit. You can host unlimited WordPress sites on a single Cloudways server, with the only constraint being your server's available resources. You can scale those resources up at any time.
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 hosting for multisite?
Not on Cloudways. Every server runs on a pre-configured Nginx, Varnish, and Redis stack optimized for WordPress, ensuring consistent performance across your entire network regardless of how many sites you add.
What is the difference between hosting for WordPress vs. hosting for WordPress Multisite?
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, hosting for WordPress multisite 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 straightforward with the Cloudways Application Management panel. Follow the steps below:
- Go to the Application Management Panel > Domain Management
- Fill in the Primary Domain field and click Save Changes.
- And for other subdomains, add them in the Additional Domains field.
Can we host a single site and multisite on the same Cloudways server?
Yes, we can host multiple applications (a single WordPress site and multisite) on the same Cloudways server.
Can Cloudways handle a large WordPress Multisite network?
Yes. Cloudways is built to scale with your network. Adjust CPU, RAM, and storage on demand as your site count grows, and use Site Manager to manage updates, monitor performance, and maintain visibility across hundreds of sites from one dashboard.
Can I switch between a WordPress Multisite and a single site setup?
Yes. You can convert a WordPress Multisite network back to a single site, or set up a new multisite from an existing single site installation. Both can be done manually or using a plugin, and Cloudways support is available to guide you through the process.
What makes Cloudways the best choice for WordPress Multisite hosting?
Cloudways gives you managed cloud infrastructure from five top providers, a pre-optimized Lightning Stack for consistent WordPress performance, and tools purpose-built for agencies managing multiple sites. Every plan includes automated backups, free SSL, staging environments, and AI Copilot for instant server issue detection and resolution. With Site Manager, you can manage updates, monitor performance, and control user access across your entire client portfolio from one dashboard.
How does Cloudways keep my WordPress Multisite network secure?
Every Cloudways server is protected by a dedicated firewall, free SSL certificates, and Cloudflare DDoS mitigation. Automated security patches are applied regularly across your network, and the built-in WordPress Vulnerability Scanner flags threats before they cause damage. For additional protection, Malware Protection scans and removes threats automatically across all your sites.
