Quick answer
The best WordPress Multisite host for most people is Kinsta. It supports subdomain, subdirectory and mapped-domain networks, counts the whole network as one site, and has expert support. Multisite needs its Single 40GB plan or higher, from $42 a month billed yearly.
On a budget, Hostinger supports Multisite on all its WordPress plans, from $1.99 a month. For a developer-friendly middle ground, Cloudways and Rocket.net support Multisite with no extra fee.
WordPress Multisite lets you run many websites from one WordPress install. You update plugins and themes once, and every site in the network gets the change. Universities, franchises, news groups and agencies use it to manage dozens or even hundreds of sites.
But not every host handles Multisite well. Some do not allow it at all, some only on expensive plans, and some turn off features like staging. We read the official Multisite rules of 11 hosts in November 2026. Here is what we found.
