WordPress MU Structure

There are two types of WordPress Mu structures: subdomains or subdirectories. Which one is for you? You decide. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, let me explain. Assuming your base install is located at yourdomain.com, you can install new blogs in two different ways. The first option is using subdomains. For example, the blogs1, blog2 and blog3 will look like this.

  • blog1.yourdomain.com
  • blog2.yourdomain.com
  • blog3.yourdomain.com

The second options is using subdirectories which will look like this:

  • yourdomain.com/blogs1
  • yourdomain.com/blogs2
  • yourdomain.com/blogs3

Either one will work. WordPress MU is not particular. It’s a matter of preference. The only requirement is that you will need a wildcard entry in the DNS if you use subdomains.
