Do I need a WordPress multisite for this project?

  • Hello,

    We (my coworker and me) are going to host our futur client’s website using WordPress, but we have several questions to develop this project.

    Our clients will have to choice between 5 themes (more soon) for their website. So it would be great if we could manage only one wordpress to update easily our themes and the plugins.

    Features:

    – Each client can create and edit its pages with its own content
    – Each client have its own media library

    So, the client X should not have access to client Y’s data (content, media library,…).

    Do we have to use the WordPress multisite for this project?

    Best regards,
    Max

  • Hey Max,

    I think multisite would work well for this, but it depends on what hosting you wish to use. If you think of f.ex. VPS, multisite could be perfect, else you can use something like iControlWP.

    GL with it!

    Hey Axel13, thanks for your response.

    We have a dedicated server. Does that answer your question?

    Yes, multisite is surely a good option.

    2 more considerations though:

    – As far as I know it is not possible to limit bandwidth on multisite. I never looked for it though, so I could be wrong.

    – Some plugins are not compatible with multisite. However, these are a minority and the good ones already are, or are working on it. The only thing I’m still missing is two-factor authentication, but I did not try all the options yet.

    Apart from that I can’t think of a reason not to use multisite. I personally love it.

    Grtz!
