Additional Subsites for WordPress Hosting Premium

The Additional Subsites add-on allows you to expand your WordPress Hosting Premium plan beyond the default 1 primary + 5 subsites. This add-on is useful for agencies, franchises, and multi-location brands that need to manage multiple sites within a single WordPress multisite network.

Default setup​

By default, WordPress Hosting Premium includes:

  • 1 Primary Site + 5 Subsites
  • Shared themes, plugins, and branding
  • Centralized control from one WordPress network dashboard

How the add-on works​

When you add the Additional Subsites Add-on to your WordPress Hosting Premium plan, you can create more subsites than the default limit. Your total subsite capacity will be visible in your WordPress dashboard, and you can manage all subsites from the Network Admin area.

Managing subsites​

In WordPress Dashboard → Network admin → Sites, you can:

  • View all Active and Deactivated subsites
  • See your total subsite limit and current usage
  • Restore deactivated subsites when needed
  • Keep total active subsites within your purchased limit

Backup and restore​

When restoring backups, the system automatically respects your subsite limit:

  • If a backup contains more subsites than your current limit, extra subsites are restored in Deactivated mode
  • The same rule applies when restoring from staging
  • You can reactivate deactivated subsites later if you increase your capacity
