manage multiple domains with one login?
-
Hello! I’m brand new to WP. Is it possible to manage multiple domains with one single WP account/login? I’m using bluehost and it created a WP login for my 1st wesbite. I started working on a 2nd domain and realized it created a new separate login for that domain. I tried creating an account with WP and was hoping I would be able to access those two, but I can’t figure out how to link them. So now I have 3 separate logins. I’m planning on eventually having 10+ websites I’m managing, and it would be nice to do it all from one login so I’m not having to manage updates, plugins, etc. on multiple separate accounts. Just wanted to try to figure this out before I get too deep in it and it’s hard or impossible to change later. Is this possible? Thank you for your help!

Hi @treywillis I think you are looking to manage multiple domains with one login.
Here is my guidelines which will help you in this issue.By linking multiple accounts to a single login you can toggle between accounts from within the control panel. When a login is linked to multiple accounts you will see a “change” link next to the account number at the top of the page in the control panel.This can be helpful for IT consultants that want to setup direct access for their clients but still want the ability to help manage their client’s accounts.Adding the same contact to two separate accounts will automatically link that contact login to both accounts. The login is based on the contact’s email address, therefore creating a contact with the same email address on two separate accounts will automatically give that contact access to both accounts.
The login for a given contact will be instantly connected to both accounts if they are added to two different accounts. The contact’s email address serves as the basis for the login, therefore if you create a contact with the same email address for two different accounts, that contact will have access to both accounts by default. Click the Add New button located on the Account Contacts page.Complete the necessary fields. When adding the same contact to each account, you must provide the same email address. Since the email address is required to access the control panel, it also serves as a means of verifying that two contacts are related.You will notice a notification stating that the contact has been linked to the account when adding a contact to an account that already existing somewhere else. You must logout and then log back in as the newly added contact in order to see the effects of this update. A single account can be used to administer several domains. In the upper right corner of the control panel, next to the domain name, you will see a “down arrow” if more than one domain is associated to the same account. You can switch between and manage a list of domains by clicking the “down arrow” that appears. How to incorporate several domains into a single account:
For the rest of your domains, use the alternate order form to add the domain to your existing account.There is also a button in the control panel that goes to the alternate order form for adding additional domains to your account. Establishing a reseller account and creating sub-accounts.
