Hi there
Here is my context I would like a validation
- My first future WP site will be hosted at a hosting company and will be secured through a SSL certificate attached to it
- I have prepared at home on a dedicated NAS machine a dev website to test the options, plugins I would like to use on my live site
- I have installed on my Mac an instance of Local on which I would like to have my preprod site which will be the mirror of the live site. My intend is to write my articles in this preprod site then export from there to import in my live site.
I choose this option to put my preprod site on Local because of SSL as per my understanding I can activate a local SSL certificate on this site which will means that my urls will be https then once exported/imported in my live site no additional work to rewrite the url.
Now my question is what is the best approach regarding the fact that probably I’ll develop more sites in the future then I thought to use the multi-site option and put there all my preprod sites but my concern is about the database ? in multi-site mode are all the sites sharing the same DB or have they there own DB?
What I understood is that in order to have export/import working I need to have the same DB on both sides (live and preprod) so if multi-site means 1 DB instead of several I can’t use this option.
thanks for your advices
