Does Site5 support WordPress MultiSite?

[476 Blue Star Level]

I need to host a WordPress MultiSite network. Is it possible for me to do this on my Site5 account?

Answer #1

We sure do! In addition, if you wish to use the sub-domain option of MultiSite, you will want to check your DNS settings to ensure that you have a wildcard active. A wildcard takes all requests that do not have specific records and points them to your account. You are looking for something similar to the following…

*.example.com. => 123.123.123.123

…or…

*.example.com. => example.com.

Please note, you would replace example.com and 123.123.123.123 with your domain and your servers IP address.

If you do not have anything matching what’s above, you can add it using the DNS Editor found in SiteAdmin.
