 * – I run multiple websites from a single server.
    – I run OS X Mavericks Server–
   It uses DDNS to obtain a static IP. – It has an internal static IP. – I use the
   server for TeamSpeak 3. – I would to like to potentially use it for the following
   once my sites are settled(This may all be irrelevant unless you want to hack 
   my face off): – Email (For each site) – App development – Calender services –
   I can run multiple databases. – Memory is a bottleneck. 6gb max, currently 4gb.
 * Would it be better to use a Multisite WordPress with a single database or an 
   individual installation in sperate directories for each of my sites with their
   own databases? I have 5 domains I would like to use for separate sites. 2 of 
   those sites use subdomains.
 * I know Mavericks Server has some functionality for directing folders to specific
   sites, but thisI am not 100% on how to accomplish. I figure it would be simple
   to do in the terminal, but I have poor luck with the terminal because I am a 
   super noob.
 * Currently I run a Multisite, but I am having redirect issues with people trying
   to view the sites outside of my network. Certain functions in my site call back
   to my internal IP, which induce incredibly long load times for external viewers.
   I believe I have seen Multisite conflict with some plugins I have tried to use
   as well.
 * I believe a single site installation would fix this issue, but then i have to
   break down my site and rebuild it I would assume.
 * Does anyone have any advice for my current situation?
