Best Way To Manage More Than Five WordPress Sites

Most WordPress users own more than one site.

Many WordPress consultants & Web Designers manage dozens of these sites from the one dashboard.

There’s 2 ways to achieve this:

1. WordPress  include’s a built in function named multi site which you can use to create a network of sites.
2. Another way to create and manage multiple installations is to use a service named ManageWP.

This service allows you to fully manage an unlimited amount of sites from the one location.

Lets checkout the benefits of using a tool like managewp:

• Monitoring uptime – You’ll be notified which sites are down and how long the downtime lasted.
• Updates – Receive notifications when new plugin, theme and WordPress versions are ready to be updated. Update all sites you manage in one click.
• Monitor traffic changes – Configure the settings to monitor changes in traffic by a certain percentage compared to a previous period.
• Google analytics – No need to sign in to multiple accounts to check stats. All the reports for each site are only one click away.
• Backup – Schedule automatic file and database backups to be sent to your online storage provider periodically.
• Copy and install sites quickly – The clone tools allows you to copy existing sites and install them to other domains quickly
• Install pre made sites – You can also install pre made sites you have designed with different themes and plugins to multiple domains faster than any other method.
• Moving WordPress sites – You can also migrate multiple sites to new servers or domains faster than manually moving them over.

This is an excellent service for web designers, WordPress consultants, SEO’s & WordPress users who need to manage multiple installations.
