What Is WordPress Multisite and How to Set up a Multisite Network
In this post, we'll explain how WordPress Multisite works and when you should use it. In addition, we'll show you step-by-step how to create your own WordPress Multisite network.
WordPress Multisite lets you create an entire network of sites powered by a single WordPress install.
You can either keep your network private and use it to power your own network of sites – like a local business creating a network site for each location. Or, you can make your network public and let people register and create their own sites in your network, like WordPress.com.
While each site gets its own dashboard, everything is powered by a single WordPress install and a single database, and individual site owners don’t have quite as much control.
In this post, we’ll share a little more about how WordPress Multisite works and when it is, or isn’t, a good idea to use Multisite. Then, we’ll show you step-by-step how to set up your own WordPress Multisite network.
