My web host does automatic WordPress installs, updates etc, but NOT for WPMU. I am currently developing multiple NON-related WordPress sites and am wondering if I am making a big mistake not going with WordPress MU.
Now, the ESL tech person I was in a support-chat with last night could not seem to grasp the question I was asking him, which was “Can I still install WordPress MU myself, with Netfirms as my host?” He just kept repeating they did “not support WordPress MU.”
So I still don’t know what WPMU would involve, and if my hosting platform would explode if I installed WPMU into my acct…?
On a related issue, Netfirms is a shared hosting company, the kind that will simply shut down your site should you actually get really busy and go over your transfer limit.
I am wondering, if I go ahead and do either of the above scenarios (build 5-10 different separate WP sites OR install WPMU myself and build 5-10 sites within that system), just how easy or nighmarish it may be later if one site blows up, grows fast, or whatever, and I need to move to better (dedicated) hosting.
Any thoughts?
Most appreciated.
