I have my own physical servers, which are running VPS’s + control panels as DNS servers, webservers etc. , so i know and can do whatever needed.

Problem is if i add somesite.com to WP Multisite , and then added somesite.com and serveralias xzczzx.somesite.com to apache virtualhost pointing to somesite.com which has WP Multisite webroot and also xzczzx.somesite.com DNS pointing to same server. Still there is no way i can see that xzczzx.somesite.com as i can see somesite.com, WP multisite just doesn’t undertand that.. With single WP install not any problems.

Thanks for DB script tip !

Still figuring out how to move root domains easily to WP Multisite when old sites is still running in some other server. WP single can do but stupid to run multiple databases for e.g. simple landing pages.

Yes i have DNS pointing newsite.customer.com to multisite server and i have newsite.customer.com in apache virtualhost ServerAlias and they all DocumentRoot points to the Multisite root directory. But when i go to https://newsite.customer.com , it just goes to servers root “server1.hosting.com”

This system is working ok with plain TLD domains but not with subdomains when Multisite user/domain is not that same subdomain but an real TLD.

So user can login as a user i create (e.g. customer.com) via servers realname server1.hosting.com/wp-login.php , but there is not any way to show this users new webpage thru Multisite install ? Like newsite.customer.com or server1.hosting.com/customer.com when DNS is still pointing to some old server ? Real domain TLD allways have to point to Multisite server ?

Also in Multisite i cannot install any “Search and Replace plugins”, because they will be available for all normal Admin’s also, and they can then search & replace any users mysql tables, because it’s Multisite install.

I don’t think im alone with this, domains have been and will be moved to new servers with minimal downtime, Multisite install doesn’t give you that without making some database changes.

With single WP install this is not any problem.
