No this would be out of the scope of support at Phluit, though our support will be able to point you in the right direction.
Yes since a multisite install is still a single WordPress install on a container, any unique visits to the site(s) on that container count towards the visits.
It is best to start with a fresh WordPress Install and convert that to WordPress Multisite and then import your current site into that install. This is due to some of the directory structure and database tables. Converting directly to Multisite COULD cause issues in the future.
This all depends on the type of sites. While Multisite does require more PHP workers to run better, the difference in PHP workers needed will be based on how static or dynamic a site is.
There is no software limitation to how many sites can be enabled on a Multisite installation. The real bottleneck will eventually become the platform resources (CPU, RAM, PHP Workers, etc).
Support is available 24/7 for assistance with the site including a Multisite installation.
No, you will need to be on at least a Pro plan for this. Multisite CAN be resource-intensive and require additional PHP workers.
Yes, Multisite counts as one WordPress install, even though it can manage multiple websites. Here's how it works:
One Core, Multiple Sites: Multisite is a feature of WordPress that allows you to create and manage multiple websites from a single WordPress installation. This means you only have one set of core WordPress files and one database, even though you can have multiple websites running on that foundation.
Shared Resources: All the websites in a Multisite network share the same core WordPress files, plugins, and themes. This can save you disk space and make it easier to manage updates, as you only need to update WordPress once for all of your sites.
Separate Content: However, each site in the network has its own separate database tables for storing its unique content, such as posts, pages, users, and settings. This allows each site to have its own distinct content and appearance.
Key Points:
Advantages of Multisite:
Multisite is a single WordPress install that acts as multiple separate sites all sharing the same files and database.
Ecommerce sites, membership sites, forums, discussion boards, blogs with extremely active comment sections, and other types of highly dynamic websites will benefit greatly by using Redis.Redis cache allows for the reuse of cached objects rather than requiring the MySQL database to be queried a second time for the same object.
This reduces the load on a website’s MySQL database, while simultaneously decreasing the response time of the site and increasing the site’s ability to scale and handle additional traffic.
External backups can be configured for either a weekly or monthly frequency. You also have a choice between backing up your files only, WordPress database only, or both.
Your ecommerce site is a continuously changing site. Our hourly and 6-hour backup options could be a perfect fit. Rest assured that you can upgrade or downgrade this add-on at any time.
These are additional restore points. When you have the hourly backups add-on enabled, automatic daily backups are still taken and available to restore.
