Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: Installing second WordPress instance in Windows Server@songdogtech – Thank you for the reply, can you clarify this line? “That’s unless you need the install to be on its own domain”
Here is my situation: We have a substantial VMware environment with more public IPs than we know what to do with. We manage a number of agencies who want to move into this decade from a web standpoint. WordPress is cost-effective for them and I have great confidence in building/administering sites.
Here is my goal: We want to host X WordPress instances for X agencies. My understanding of Multisite is that it will make it tough to migrate their site if they choose to leave our environment. If that is wrong, then I will proceed in that direction.
My thought was “Install X Instances of WordPress on one Windows server so I can manage them all while keeping a small VM footprint” – if that is not best practice, I have no problem changing course.

In reply to: Installing second WordPress instance in Windows ServerIt’s not too late, but we are the hosting provider. I can build a Linux machine instead if it is preferable. We just have a Windows environment so I wanted to keep it harmonious for the admins.
However, I’ve never spun up more than one WP instance on a single server so I’m out of my element.

In reply to: Installing second WordPress instance in Windows ServerWe are hosting it ourselves on a Windows Server 2012 VM. IIS is working fine for one server, but I wanted to host multiple tenant websites and multiple databases would probably be the cleanest way to do this, yeah?
