    Hi all, I am a newbie at WP and excited at learning all I can.

    Scenario:
    I have a WP install on my main domain (hosted at CrazyDomains) with unlimited add-ons.
    I want to host, set up and maintain websites for approx. 10 friends and family (Going to be a Christmas present for next year).
    Was going to create add-on domains for each of them but I just found out about multi sites and wondered if that might be a better option….
    Each person MUST have their own unique domain name – NOT theirsite.mysite.com.au or mysite.com.au/theirsite.
    I want the option that they can move their site from my hosting to one of their own e.g. CrazyDomains.com.au if they want to move in future with minimum pain and fuss.

    Please advise your thoughts on best option – multi site or addon domains?

    Thanks in advance

    Sharyn

    Hi,

    This question is not related to our product.

    You should post it in WordPress Forums. https://wordpress.org/support/

    It’s difficult to setup multi-site with domain mapping, if you are not a programmer.
    Domain mapping refers to having your own domain name that resolves to theirsite.mysite.com.au

    If you can fully understand the following two articles, then you can try to create a multi-site.
