I am working on a project that is much like WordPress.com and Ghost.org I just wanted to know, How these platforms create blogging accounts for their users?

Do they:

Just create an account in the database and create a separate name-spaced database for the user's website Or, Do they host the website on separate account using reseller hosting?

By the way, I am a PHP web developer. So, you can be technical with me :)

  • I don't wish to create a Multi-User WordPress site. I just want to create website like WordPress.com – Mohit Gangrade Oct 08 '15 at 05:49
  • Is that not a multi-user site ?What I have understood from your question is you want user to have a subdomain on your site when they register and they will have control on that subdomain .Am I correct ? – Prafulla Kumar Sahu Oct 08 '15 at 05:53
  • Yes. You are right but I want to know how I can do something like this: The user registers for an account on the website and gets a sub domain with wildcard entries and htaccess. Then he gets complete control over the subdomain. He will be able to login to the subdomain like this sub.mysite.com/admin Once he logs in, he will be able to see the dashboard and settings. He will be able to add plugins but will not be able to run PHP code outside his subdomain meaning on the main site :) – Mohit Gangrade Oct 08 '15 at 05:56
  • You can also do this in PHP but you must ahve good control over your server, so I can suggest a VPS .and you can code for creatinga subdomain for every registration and a installation of wordpress which should be a customized one so that you can limit the user to do things. – Prafulla Kumar Sahu Oct 08 '15 at 05:59
  • read this how to map a subdomain but still I would suggest you should do this in core PHP if you can https://en.support.wordpress.com/map-subdomain/ and read Again a plugin buddy press take a look at this https://buddypress.org/support/topic/how-to-allow-members-to-create-their-own-blogs/ and https://wordpress.org/support/topic/auto-create-a-site-for-registered-users-as-subdomaindomain – Prafulla Kumar Sahu Oct 08 '15 at 06:02
