Non Stop Portals recommends Wordpress as a platform for building web sites that are easy to maintain by end-users. Wordpress is not the perfect match for every situation, but it works great for building web sites that can be modified directly by the owner of the web site.
It quickly became clear that we needed to have the ability to build many Wordpress sites that run off of one copy of the Wordpress software. If we installed a new copy of Wordpress for every new site, we would be faced with upgrading every site when new releases of Wordpress became available.
The technical term for running multiple instances off of one software copy is multi-tenancy. While each individual site has it's own security access rules and unique configuration, the underlying software is the same. Whenever a new software release becomes available we will only need to upgrade one copy of the software.
There are several solutions available to provide the ability to create unique domains that point to one single copy of Wordpress. We tried several of the solutions and finally found one that is well documented and IT WORKS.
The Multi-Site Wordpress plugin and associated documentation costs $15.00. The documentation will save you loads of time.
Disclosure: Non Stop Portals will receive a commission if you elect to purchase the ebook and Wordpress plugin.
