Can I use WordPress Multisite to Host Client Sites?

1. What is a multisite? 00:23
   • WordPress multisite allows you to run an unlimited number of websites under the same WordPress installation.
   • The benefit is that you can update plugins and themes once.
2. So can you use these for client sites? 01:56
   • Yes! But there are some conditions.
   • Tim only puts certain types of client sites in his multisite. These are the brochure type static websites.
   • For clients that have a lot of traffic or eCommerce, he would use a separate WordPress install.
   • David doesn’t use multisites for clients, but he does use them for the demo themes on his website.
   • You also need to make sure that any plugins that you want to use across sites is multisite compatible.
3. If you’re unsure about it… 04:20
   • Then just stick with separate installs.
   • If you want to do more research, WPMU DEV has a lot of awesome content and tutorials around multisite.
