You’d need to learn a bit of programming or get someone else to do it. But it’s entirely possible.

@ncole Do you know where I can find/pay someone to do this for me (using digital ocean)? I don’t even think I’m ready to step into the world of programing, just yet. Thanks!

do you need a new droplet each time, or would it work just to have a site created that exists on the same droplet?

I ask because Wordpress Multisites would do that out of the box, no real programming required.

You would just need to expand your droplet whenever it gets close to full.

@sierracircle I don’t even know what you are talking about when it comes droplets. Are you saying that I only need one droplet and create smaller droplets inside that one. (I have zero programing background). I basically want someone to create this hosting platform for me (which I would pay someone to do) do you know where I can find someone to do this for me using digital ocean’s api? Thanks!

Sort of correct. You can have one droplet, and then use that to set up Wordpress Multisites.

Wordpress Multisites can then handle creating new sites inside itself.

To allow people to use their own domain will require some extra work, so you still may need to hire a programmer.

However, using Wordpress Multisites will save a lot of work.

Any Wordpress developer will know what to do. In fact, there is one company who specializes in creating plugins for Wordpress that do just the sort of thing you are wanting:

All you would need is someone to set up Wordpress Multisites, and then you could probably manage the rest with the plugins.
