while checking out MU wordpress the readme file scared me. It says that I am not coder nor a developer, I dont know any script or language. BUT, I've done many complex jobs so do you think it really needs coding etc. if there's tutorials & help/support/ walkthroughs, can I get away with that? Is it really that tough? I want opinions who've used wordpress MU... as I dont want to take risk. Basically I am forming a community where I'll offer each of my member a sub-domain with blog toolkit.
It depends on which host are you on. Cos it requires specific settings for php.ini and httpd.conf You can't these files in a shared server i think.
I am thinking of godaddy for shared hosting. I also know someone who use MU wordpress & on shared hosting & praise dreamhost a lot. for some reasons I dont like dream host. ... PS: I think I can edit php.ini or httpd.confi if there's howto & help readily availble. I think I did modified them last year...
The main problem is hosting. It will (probably) take quite a bit of CPU and memory from the shared host, and in the case of Godaddy, etc, you'll probably get suspended when you get somewhere... I think the readme is basically saying "if you don't like keeping up-to-date, go elsewhere". The coding part would be modifying the script, i guess...
Updates: I settled to normal wordpress. bluehost dont allow MU wordpress. I'll think about it in future depends on the further growth. Thanks.
