[wp-hackers] (OT) WordPress Hosting: Individual Sites vs Network

[Gavin Pearce]

OT:

Seen some neat code with Rackspace Devs for creating Cloud Servers and
installing WordPress on the fly recently, all using their Cloud API.

Give me a shout if you're interested.

interesting seems a little too hacky for my tastes.  And it seems to me
it
would create problems of its own.  For example some sites would have a
custom theme avavlible just to them, or that diffrent sites have
diffrent
sets of plugins.  Thanks anyway is interesting, although while i read
that I
do wonder why the author didn;t just use multisite, lol.
