WPMUDEV Domain Mapping

Description

Domain Mapping lets you connect a custom domain to each individual site on a WordPress multisite network, replacing the default subdomain or subfolder address with a personalized URL. It serves whoever manages a network that hosts client sites or different projects and wants each one to appear on the internet under its own domain name, without visitors noticing that the site runs inside a shared multisite installation.

Main Features of Domain Mapping

• Per-site mapping
  Associates a custom domain with a specific site within the network.
• URL replacement
  Swaps the default subdomain or subfolder address for the configured domain.
• Network-wide settings panel
  Adds a screen where the administrator registers the domains for each site.
• SSL compatible
  Keeps the link between the custom domain and the site’s security certificate.
• Automatic redirection
  Directs anyone who visits via the old address to the newly mapped domain.

Benefits of Domain Mapping

• Its own brand for each site
  Makes each site on the network visible to the public with its own identity.
• No exposed network structure
  Hides from visitors that the site runs inside a shared network.
• Easier to sell hosting
  Helps anyone reselling multisite sites deliver a custom domain to the client.
• Centralized domain management
  Brings together the registration of every domain on the network on a single screen.

Who Is Domain Mapping For?

• Anyone who manages a multisite network that hosts client sites.
• Anyone who resells WordPress hosting with a custom domain for each project.
• Anyone who maintains a network of institutional sites with different brands from one another.

How to Download Domain Mapping

Domain Mapping is available for download here on Ultrapack. After downloading the file, install it through the panel at Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin and register each domain on the network screen before pointing the DNS.

A domain shared under a subdomain or subfolder delivers an address that sounds provisional to whoever visits the site for the first time. Having a custom domain changes that perception without requiring a separate WordPress installation for each project, which keeps the maintenance of the entire network in one place.
