WordPress Multisite is a feature that allows developers to create a network of WordPress sites within a single WordPress installation. While Pair Networks does not ban the use on some hosting plans, we do not provide direct support, nor encourage its use for the following reasons:<\/span><\/p>\n

Reason 1: <\/b>WordPress Multisite uses a single database for all the sites, which can lead to poor performance and plugin\/theme compatibility conflicts.<\/span><\/p>\n

Reason 2<\/b>: If one site is exploited, all sites will be exploited. A single security vulnerability places all users at risk.<\/span><\/p>\n

Reason 3<\/b>: There is no easy way to move a single site from a WordPress Multisite setup to its own installation.<\/span><\/p>\n

Reason 4<\/b>: Each site must be managed through the WordPress admin dashboard. Users cannot install plugins or themes. <\/span><\/p>\n

Reason 5<\/b>: A plugin or theme used by one site may affect another site, even if the plugin or theme is not active. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
