 * WordPress multi site is now included in the core file of WordPress.
 * You’ll need to enable multi site after you install WordPress on a web server.
 * Once installed, open your wp-config.php using Notepad++ and add this line of 
   code to the file.
 * `define('WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE', true);`

 * On top of this, you may want to allow your users to use their own domain rather
   than an extension of yours which will be a sub domain.
 * Here’s an excellent plugin for this purpose. [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpress-mu-domain-mapping/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpress-mu-domain-mapping/)

 * Why don’t you install WordPress locally using [http://instantwp.com](http://instantwp.com)
   and enable multisite using the code above so you can see how it works first hand.
 * Yes, many guides but not as good as first hand experience

 * No worries Allan
 * That’s exactly what it does. Its like creating your own WordPress.com
 * You could charge a yearly fee to maintain your hosting costs and also offer domain
   sales as an affiliate.

 * Sorry Alan. The developer doesn’t allow it.
 * You may have to try Xammp or Wamp.
 * Personally, i use a live spare domain for testing. Good luck
