i thought WPHive ran different installs for each wordpress site, unlike MU.

Hm, correct me if I'm wrong but the last version I used did one big mySQL DB for all the WP sites. They're separated using a unique identifier to represent each site but they're all in the same DB, i.e "wp1_" "wp2_" with wp1 for site number 1, and wp2 for site 2.

I've had instances where the wp hive plugin was disabled in one site, and all my 100+ sites went down.

Also it'll be harder if you intend to flip just one of them later on.

I'll try it out soon and report back.
 
WP Hive sucks. Do one install but point them to different databases.

Or if you want to pull everything from one big database with multiple installs, change the config file so they all point to the same database.

yeah, that's what i'm going to do..... and it won't be a plugin, just a standalone admin site that will bulk manage remote WP sites.

getting really tired of individually managing WP sites

Hey that's a good idea.

Hook me up when it's done? :p
 
Great stuff! I've always considered taking out a small loan and doing something similar but people have always talked me out of it.

Now I'm concentrating on a handful of sites and so far it's working. Def. nothing like you're doing but inspiring none the less.
 
All the best of luck with this,

Im surprised you've gone down the route of MFA sites, you could have hit a few hard niches and had success with several sites with a fraction of that budget, but adsense isnt really my niche so I wont comment on whether or not it has legs as a business model.

Will be interested to see how this pans out for you, again good luck!
