  Hi all,

  I am new to WordPress. I am trying to set up WP for my site, and I am seeking suggestions on how to deploy it to meet the requirements.

  So I have these requirements:
  1 The site provides documentation services for multiple tenants, as well as has its own documentation;
  2 When user navigates to https://www.domain.com/kb/xxx, the user will see our knowledge base;
  3 When user navigates to https://www.domain.com/manual/xxx, the user will see our manual;
  4 After a tenant registers, a custom url will be provided to him, like tenant1.domain.com; and the tenant admin will be able to author their own docs, including kb and manual;
  5 When the tenant’s user navigates to https://tenant1.domain.com/kb/xxx, the user will see the tenant’s knowledge base;
  6 When the tenant’s user navigates to https://tenant1.domain.com/manual/xxx, the user will see the tenant’s manual.

  Preferably, I’d like to install just one WP instance. But that’s not a must. How should I go about doing this?

  Thanks!

  Hello
  Since you are talking about installing an instance, you intend to install WordPress on your own server. We call that a self-hosted, or sometimes a WordPress.Org site. You will get an answer more suited to your self hosted installation at:
  https://wordpress.org/support/ They have the expertise to help you

  https://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/ explains many of the differences between self-hosted and sites hosted at WordPress.Com
  https://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_vs_WordPress.com is a more who is who explanation.

  best,
