Some great discussion I missed out on here while I was on holidays!

I’ve heard good things about Media Temple and would like to try them, but they’re just out of my reach at the moment. I’d probably also prefer a local host if I was going that far (I’m in Australia).

Bluehost, as you said Dave, is great for ramping up small websites which is what I recommend using WPMU for if you’re just getting the hang of it.

If you’re going to use WPMU as blog network software definitely find a stable host on your own box (preferrably linux – faster and I think easier to manage, but then I’m a linux fan too ;D)

That is why I decided to get new domain rather than subdomain and I saw a lot of spammers in my spam folders which are very smart in using words, anyway setting moderated status is very smart way

@Rose – Media Temple is going to be interesting. Lot less hand holding, but I’m a bit of linux geek from back in the day.

@Jonathan – I am too, and I’m glad I have Josh as a trusted source!

@ Rose – I’m the process of moving parts of my “online empire” to Media Temple. Bluehost remains ideal for beginners and for really fast ramp up of small websites.

Informative post!

The one thing I don’t like about Bluehost is that they have a CPU cap.

Great post! Found you on a Google Search just a few minutes ago. After performing another round of WordPress upgrades for a client, I’m looking seriously at MU as an option for centralizing hosting of client domains – It would make plugin and upgrade management a _lot_ easier.

Keep up the good work!

@Deacon – WPMU used to be a separate code base, and suppposedly more hassle. Now that they are going to combine the code base, it might make a lot of sense to check it out.

I wish I had known about the “one login to rule them all” thing about MU. Thay might have been a much easier way to handle my several websites than my multiple WordPress installs.
