I agree with your list of reasons why WordPress is a great platform for small business websites However, whilst 1-click installations might be appealing, it really isn't much harder to perform a full install. And you get the added benefit of a more secure website. Great article, and good to see others showing small business owners that it is easy to build your own website.

The only challenge with WordPress is to keeping it upto date. As most of the extensions are still shows incompatibility and can crash the whole website. But again; this can be resolved with carefully selection of extensions and regular backups. WordPress is my platform of choice; do doubts about it. I completely agree with you.

I read in this post's comments thread about "setting up a new site in a sub folder and then moving it to the public_html when done and the original site is backed up. I'm trying to understand the domain mapping situation and "how deep" (how many levels) that mapping can occur or otherwise be allowed by the host. I too am wanting to do a nested WP (also multisite) install in a sub-folder (add-on domain) or into a subdomain - though not as a temporary site but a fully separate, live site going forward. Based on my testing both on LunarPages and HostMonster (sister company to BH) I can nest WP installations all day, but domain mapping only seems to work on the 1st level off the root folder, unless I use a virtual host and domain mapping WP plugins that lets me create a dynamic site list within ONLY the ROOT WP install. Any thoughts? Am I discovering a limitation of most hosting providers, a limitation of the "internet" and the way DNS works within the context of WPMU . . . or is this a case of user error? I've tested every scenario I can think of and I'm not getting where I want to be. Thanks for any help or insights!! Gary Whether or no Hi Don,
