Are there any limitations on the number of sites in a multisite network on LiquidWeb

Factors Affecting Site Limits

1. Server resources: The amount of CPU, RAM, and storage allocated to your hosting plan will determine how many sites it can comfortably support. Dedicated servers provide the most flexibility to scale up resources as needed.

2. Database size: Each site in a multisite network has its own database. Having too many databases can slow down performance. LiquidWeb recommends splitting databases across multiple servers for very large networks.

3. Plugin and theme usage: Plugins and themes that load on every site in the network can consume more resources. Optimizing and minimizing plugins is important for scaling.

LiquidWeb Multisite Recommendations

- For managed WordPress and WooCommerce plans, LiquidWeb does not impose hard limits but recommends keeping sites under 100 for optimal performance.

- For VPS and dedicated servers, the number of sites supported depends on the plan specs. More powerful servers allow hosting larger networks.

- LiquidWeb provides guidance on best practices for managing large multisite networks, such as using subdirectories instead of subdomains and splitting databases.

- Their support team is available to help configure your multisite setup for maximum scalability based on your specific requirements and resource constraints.

So in summary, while there's no absolute limit, the number of sites you can host in a LiquidWeb multisite setup depends on the hosting plan and how you optimize the network configuration. Consulting with their support team can help determine the ideal setup for your needs.
