Vhosting: an alternative to WordPress multi-site

By Joe Gardiner Wednesday, 1st September 2010

With the release of WordPress 3.0, multi-site functionality allows a network of sites to be managed by a single WordPress dashboard. Unfortunately some of our clients are having difficulties setting up a multi-site network, and WordPress.org codex is not always beginner friendly.

Inside your www web folder will be a folder named vhosts, this is where you create your sub-domain folders.
