As your Network grows…
It is important to keep in mind that as you increase the number of managed sites on your Dashboard Server resources will need to increase. Managing more sites means that your server will need more memory and other resources to complete the tasks requested. The suggestions below are not required, but will help to ensure you have the best experience managing your sites.
30 sites or less any shared hosting plan should suffice.
31-100 sites we suggest a re-seller hosting account with additional server memory. You should also set the optimize for large networks to ON in your MainWP Settings.
100+ sites you should consider a VPS managing this many sites. That VPS should have at least 512MB of memory. You should also set the optimize for large networks to ON in your MainWP Settings.
