 * Hello
 * Here at my work, we host multiple WordPress sites. To conserver space, we were
   thinking about the possibility to use a single wordpress core, on all those sites.
   Also needed is multiple admin access for each site.
 * Can anyone of you guys in here tell me how big of a deal this would be to make?
   Without any background knowledge of the subject, i believe it is going to be 
   a pretty big task.
 * But maybe there even exists a plugin for this kind of task?
 * ~D

 * Most of the ability to create a [WordPress Network](http://codex.wordpress.org/Create_A_Network)
   is already built into the WordPress core, but you may need a plugin for domain
   mapping.
 * The only warnings that I’d give you is that extracing a single site from a network
   can be a lot more tricky then doing it for a single-site installation. On top
   of that, in a netowrk, the user base is shared amoungst all of the websites, 
   so if someone is set up on one site, they’ll be registered on all of the other
   sites (as a subscriber unless an administrator changes that). That may or may
   not be the way that you want to work.
 * If the only reason for this is conserving space, then I’d suggest against it.
   Server storage space is pretty cheap these days, so adding emough for even a 
   fiarly large WordPress site isn’t going to be prohibitive. We’ve got most of 
   our sites set up on a couple of different reseller accounts, and we’re running
   somewhere around 40-50 sites out of them for not a huge bill.
