      Do you support WordPress multisite?

      wildcloud does not support WordPress multisite because it is built on a different architectural principle that aims to address the limitations inherent in the multisite setup.

      wildcloud does not support WordPress multisite because it is built on a different architectural principle that aims to address the limitations inherent in the multisite setup. WordPress multisite operates by sharing a single database among all its subsites, which can lead to several challenges:

      1. Scalability Issues: As the number of subsites grows, the shared database can become a bottleneck, affecting performance and the ability to scale efficiently.
      2. Resource Contention: All subsites compete for the same server resources, which can lead to resource contention and potential downtime if one site experiences a surge in traffic or a security issue.
      3. Customization Constraints: With a shared database, customization options are limited because changes can potentially impact all subsites on the network.
      4. Maintenance Complexity: Managing updates and backups is more complex with multisite, as a single change can have far-reaching implications across the entire network.

      In contrast, wildcloud makes the multisite feature obsolete by providing the following advantages:

      1. Individual Databases: Each subsite is transformed into a separate individual WordPress website with its own database, allowing for better resource management and isolation.
      2. Improved Performance: Without the shared database, each site can perform optimally without being affected by the demands of other sites on the network.
      3. Enhanced Customization: Individual sites can be customized without restrictions, as changes do not impact other sites.
      4. Simplified Management: Updates, backups, and security measures can be managed on a per-site basis, reducing complexity and risk.

      By adopting this multi-tenant approach, wildcloud offers a more modern, flexible, and scalable solution that is better suited for businesses looking to grow and manage a portfolio of WordPress sites without the constraints of WordPress multisite.
