Q: Push WP, Theme and Plugin Updates Across Sites?
Hi Nick,
I am really excited about your hosting platform.
I need the ability to easily replicate a site with the exact same WP setup, plugin and theme stack across numerous sites, along with the ability to add new sites easily and quickly with the same infrastructure.
My goal is standardization and scale. It looks like TasteWP does exactly this.
However, I have several questions:
1. Since the original focus was staging, how are updates handled? Are they easily and seamlessly pushed to the active sites or do they have to be done manually, one-by-one?
2. What security management, if any, is included?
3. Do you plan to offer any agency features or dashboard?
4. Can we stack top tier plans for more domains at renewal if needed?
5. If a real need arises for additional subdomains, will consider on a case-by-case basis?
Thanks!

Jun 11, 2025A: Thank you for your questions—great to hear you're excited about the platform!
Let me address each point:
1. Updates & Deployment: Currently, updates need to be done manually. However, it's quite simple—you can create a backup on the staging site and restore it to production as needed.
2. Security Management: We handle security at the hosting infrastructure level. For site-specific protection, we recommend using well-known WordPress security plugins (e.g., Wordfence, iThemes Security).
3. Agency Features: TasteWP includes a dashboard where you can manage all your client sites. If you were referring to specific agency tools or multi-client management features, let us know—we’re open to feedback.
4. Plan Stacking: We don’t currently support later stacking of top-tier plans (at AppSumo conditions). However, feel free to contact us directly—we’re happy to work something out, such as offering volume-based discounts.
5. Subdomains: At the moment, one subdomain per site is supported. We are exploring options to allow more, but we can't promise a specific timeline yet.
Please don’t hesitate to reach out with further questions—we’re here to help!

Am I correct in this statement?
Thanks again!
Nick_TasteWPPLUSYes, you can do this with TasteWP — we call it "Site Templates." However, this particular deal is a bit separate, as it's focused on ensuring sites don't expire.
We recommend trying out your idea directly on TasteWP to see how it works in practice. If you have any questions or run into issues, feel free to reach out to us at hi [at] tastewp [dot] org — we're happy to help!
