WordPress Multisite runs many websites from one installation. It’s powerful for the right use case, but it isn’t the best fit for everyone — here’s how to decide.
Multisite lets you create a network of sites that share one WordPress core, themes and plugins, managed from a single dashboard. It’s used for things like a chain of branch sites or a university’s departments.
It shines when sites are genuinely related and benefit from shared management, themes and users. Updating once covers the whole network, which saves real time at scale.
For unrelated sites, or clients who may need to move their site away later, separate installations are simpler and safer. Multisite adds complexity to backups, plugins and hosting that isn’t always worth it.
Multisite manages many related sites from one install — ideal at scale, but separate installs are simpler for unrelated or portable sites.
