Wordpress Plugins WPMU DEV 4.8 (4.7K reviews)
WPMU DEV Pro Sites is a WordPress plugin from the team at WPMU that turns a standard WordPress Multisite installation into a paid hosting platform. Think of the way WordPress.com or Edublogs.org operate: you provide the infrastructure, and your users get their own sites without needing to install anything themselves. This plugin handles the commercial side of that arrangement. You create a network of sites, decide what each user can do, and then charge for the extras that make the platform worthwhile. It is built for anyone who wants to run a site-building service, whether for clients, students, or members of a community. The licensing is straightforward: you download the exact .zip file that WPMU distributes to its own customers. That is the whole transaction. No extra account with a reseller is needed, and the code remains untouched from the original release. Everything runs inside your own WordPress dashboard.
The most important part of this plugin is how it monetizes a Multisite network. Site owners can offer free basic sites and then upsell premium features such as additional storage, custom domain mapping, and other paid upgrades. Domain mapping alone is a huge selling point because it lets users bring their own .com or .org address while still using your hosting. Extra storage works similarly, giving you a natural reason to charge more. The plugin gives you a way to present these options through a separate upgrade page, so visitors see exactly what they get by paying. You stay in control of what features are available on each tier. This structure mirrors what large hosting providers do, but without the need to build the billing system yourself. Everything is handled inside WordPress, using your existing users and sites. That means you can start small and expand as your user base grows.
The built-in marketing and management tools make the process fairly hands-off. You can advertise your services with pre-made pricing tables that display each hosting package clearly. Both free and premium packages are supported, so you can attract people with a no-cost option and then guide them toward something better. Payment handling covers three major gateways and works with 24 different currencies, which expands your potential audience beyond a single country. Rich states for Google Analytics come built in as well, meaning the plugin sends detailed data about your network traffic to your analytics account. Coupons and free trial periods are included, allowing you to run promotions without needing another plugin. These features are not bolted on; they are integrated into the dashboard, so you manage every aspect of the network from one place. Even if you are not a developer, the interface is straightforward enough to set up and maintain on your own.
What you receive is the original installer file from WPMU DEV, exactly as it would be delivered to a paying customer. That means the package installs like any ordinary WordPress plugin, with no extra wrappers or modifications. You can host it on your own server and begin building your network. The intended use is to set up a WordPress Multisite installation and then offer sites to other people, with the plugin handling billing and upgrades. It suits someone who wants to run a hosting service without building a custom payment system. Since you obtain the genuine .zip, you are working with the same code and documentation that WPMU releases to everyone. There is no need to deal with a middleman or a secondary marketplace for updates or support. For a proficient WordPress user, getting a network running is a matter of installing the plugin, configuring the payment details, and then letting visitors sign up.
