    Is mIRC the only supported client, or will any IRC-client do?

    (I’m just being an as.. ehrm, annoying besserwisser.)

    After reading through some of the new features (as well as the requested features), I guess my primary concern is the possible effects the merge may have on server performance. I have a sneaking suspicion that a lot of users may have to upgrade to dedicated hosting. I hope not.

      If your host is telling you that you’ll need a dedicated package, they are in for a money grab.

      If you’ll just be turning on just a handful multiple blogs and keeping them for yourself, there’s no reason it won’t run on shared.

      but – if you’re opening up your system so anyone can sign up for a free blog, that could violate some hosts TOS.

      I think it’s more a question of how some web hosts are going to handle this new ability. up until know, many of them have disabled MU from working by way of not supporting it.

    If you do please let me have all the MU features that will kill my shared host off. In fact make sure you do as they are on the lists of hosts that you suggest people use.

    I am really looking forward to WP becoming one platform for all. I never understood the need for WP and MU to begin with.

  5. Oliver says:

    I hope the MU features will be easy to globally turn off in a few clicks.

    I may be a borderline case, I’m making a 55k daily unique visitors audience, and I’m already very close to the limits of shared hosting plans.

    If WP 3.0 became such a powerhouse because of MU features or code complexification that I’d be forced to move to another hosting plan, I tell you, this would be a huge financial loss :(

    Of course my case is a relatively rare case, however I hope the future WP developments won’t turn out to be a catastrophe for me v_v

    I was using WordPress from the beginning and update their new plugins & version. I think shared hosting will be good enough for MU.

    Although it´s great they finally merge WP and MPMU, hopefully not too many “compromises” have to be done in the merging process. Great to read they have these WPMU ninjas onboard for this project, – I guess they are in shorter supply than corresponding for WP.

  1. […] with MU, now would be a good time to try it out. The next major release  (WordPress 3.0) will merge  WordPress and WordPress MU, together into a single core version. Will the merge make WordPress more […]
