Requesting Cheaper WordPress Multisite Hosting Fully Managed

Member
What I need is something just like https://kinsta.com/ but their business plan starts at $119/month!
I need to run WordPress Multisites so that my host performs domain mapping on 30 different Multisites.
For example, my "Master" site is
https://dc-metro.com/
I have 30 WordPress Multisites like:
https://dc-metro.com/brooklinechronicle/
But I can't have these multi-sites on subdomains or inside file directories. I need each one mapped to the corresponding domain. This is not easy to do but kinsta does it for you fully managed.
Are there hosts like Kinsta that do the domain mapping for less?

You have to give more info, what kind of multisite you have ... Aka

I believe he's looking to pay someone else to manage a Wordpress MU instance instead of having to manually configure, maintain, and operate it.
You could probably use A2hosting https://www.a2hosting.com/wordpress-hosting/multisite
Wordpress MU usually isn't worth the time imho. It sounds great in theory but it introduces more headaches than it's usually worth.
Exactly, I want to pay someone to perform domain mapping & fully manage it.
I'm looking for choice #2 Single Database: multiple WordPress instances sharing a single database instance.
I can get this to show up as separate subdomains, but mapping each of these 30 multi-sites to their own domain with A-records & all that is a higher level task i want to pay someone else to do like this:
https://kinsta.com/knowledgebase/wordpress-multisite-domain-mapping/
we can do manually setup whole solution, so all 30 domains will have own folder and we be able to link to the same database. any specific server requirements?
Interested, please will you mention price and name of package to request?
I'm looking for something like a fully managed VPS but doesn't need to be exactly:
6 CPU cores
12 GB DDR4 RAM
300 GB NVMe SSD
30 TB Bandwidth
Out of curiosity, are you offering managed service for 30 discrete installations of Wordpress all installed to the same database but with different prefixes? (e.g. wp1_, wp2_, etc.) Or do you mean an actual installation of Wordpress Network solution (the rebuilt Multisite feature)? (aka one installation that supports 30 domains)
@miu can help?
The easiest part is to install 30 WordPress using automated script, looking the WordPress yes it does support multi sites which required to modify code in order to archive the way how the OP wish.
I personally don’t get why need to have one database with multiple WordPress tables (e.g. wp1_, wp2_, etc.) .
You don't need to install any modules as Wordpress support multi websites out of box:

Great question and I'd like your opinion.
They are all news sites for various parts of the country but they share in common national and international news.
I found a powerful WordPress plugin that I added to the Master dashboard at
DC-Metro.com
Because they share one database, I only need to post the international and national news stories once to DC-Metro, & those stories are instantly posted to all 30 newsportals across the country. This saves me 20 hours of work per week.
How else could I do this except through WordPress Multisites sharing 1 database?
Can't help with that as a service - but from an seo perspective are you not penalised? Really curious about that
Just asking, why you want to post exactly same content on 30 website??
generate more traffic so get more profit from ads or content, seen such projects with crypto news websites.
so in this case you don't need WordPress tables (e.g. wp1_, wp2_, etc.), simply can be peformed 30 automated installations with one database without separating any wp1 or wpX tables.
Yes, from a SEO perspective you're penalized. However the local reporting for each newsportal is what's important as it brings in the traffic & ad dollars. Local news is what makes each newsportal special.
Through a news relationship with a bigger newspaper, our national & international news is a copy of their news anyway so already penalized the moment we buy it.
The visitors look at the same content multiple times? That's fucked up, so is the brand dilution. Clearly, shenanigans afoot.
You didn't read my post above yours. It's all about the local reporting which is the magic of each Newsportal.
National/international news is just there as a necessary expectation.
I did, but I didn't reply to you, you were just subquoted for context.
I have no fucking idea why you'd still set it up that way for local news or some shit, so I'll now extend my shenanigans prediction to your endeavor as well.
I'm aware. Was just curious as my interpretation of what you were proposing wasn't clear which option you were taking.
It’s not our idea or project, we done in past migration of applications from one domain to another for one of our client and Google and other search engines detect duplicated content so quick, so it’s unnecessary to have the same content X amount times on different domains.
I'm still baffled as to why, but appreciate your time answering my curiosity! Hope you find something suitable
Honestly, I'd just use Kinsta. They're a very high quality provider, pricing is high, but its a fantastic service.
Help me to understand why your baffled?
If you went to a city newsportal where you lived to catch up on news, you wouldn't be surprised to find only local news but none about National events?
We have a deal to purchase National and international news from a publisher that has already published that news. This is no different than 80% of local news media who republish from their Reuters or Associated Press subscriptions. Local media doesn't usually have a budget to have their own reporter in Ukraine so that's what an Associated Press subscription is for.
By the time we republish that same news story by the same writer, it is already facing the Google SEO penalty. So putting that same international news on 30 newsportals doesn't theoretically hurt us any more than what's already done.
Thus International and National news is not our purpose or focus but just as an extra benefit to the reader.
Because we all have local newspapers with websites (for decades) and none of them require 29 clones.
I can't say I've ever seen it myself, I see quoted pieces- I was genuinely curious! Granted I don't work in the media lol but glad it was just me who didn't see it as being a strange way to setup
Each represents 1 city so that residents of that city will expect & receive local news for that city.
So instead of going to somewebsite.com and clicking on "City 1” (from a directory of 30), you'll make 30 copies of city[1-30].somewebsite.com and have 30 places to update. You'll lose out on caching benefits.
Anyway, agree to disagree.
I may not have followed you. So no subdomains, each city is on a different domain. For example,
Washington DC https://dc-metro.com/
Brookline is at BrooklineChronicle.domain
It won't be obvious from any site that there are 30 matching sites on one database.
Please teach me more about caching benefits by having just one site?
If we have a separate site per city, 30 different advertisers can get the best advertising spots for their respective cities.
For a project like this, i will not use Wordpress Multisite but multiple single wordpress instance for each website on 30 different hosting account. This is not the simplest way but i think the best way to do it. To link all wordpress website together and ease of use, i will use:
Mainwp: The MainWP Dashboard allows you to control virtually all of your daily
WordPress maintenance tasks at absolutely no cost.
Wpematico: To take Rss feed from your main website ( where you will have national and international news ) and post them on all your region website.
WP Remote Users Sync: will allow all users on one website to be a user on your network of websites.
There is a lot of benefits to do it like this. For SEO and Security, each website with their own hosting account can have their own ressource ( if one website drive more traffic you can easily move this website to a new server with more cpu, ram, space... ), unique ip address, geolocalisation ( interlink between all your websites will be a lot better for SEO stats ), plugins, themes and if one website is hacked, this is not your full network that will be down.
