Ok graynotgrey. My domain, for user blogs in subdomains, is hosted in hostgator reseller plan. I will follow your advice and I set it up the system on a single database of WordPress MU.

Maybe, another option could be install individual wordpress (no multisite), on each subdomain for users. But if i do this, then the blogs are not connected to each other, and users who want to comment on one or the other, they can not because they do not serve the user and pass data.

Definitely, I think your advice is the best choice, and so prove it.
Thanks!

Hello graynotgrey, thanks for the info, is very complete, although I have little experience with wordpress, I have more experience with joomla. It seems better idea to start with WP MU in one DB, and then there will be time to expand, true? Now, the question is, how many users blogs can WP MU manage without collapsing into a single database?
best regards

Hello Ipstenu, sorry, but i dont know which is the subforum more appropiate for this topic.

what I want is to make a social network in wordpress blogs like this: (it is in spanish language)

This example site, is a wordpress multisite versión with a plugin for separate DBs, or is a one database for all blogs?

Thanks, best regards.

Hello ipstenu. I think it is the best option to have separate databases because it is easier to manage them. Also, if there are many queries at once to a single database of different blogs, could collapse. But I do not know, I speak from intuition.

The plugin WP Hive works as WP Multisite, or it is a diferent thing?

Hello Sandra, if the plugin works well, it will be great. The article says that the standard version of WP MU can handle several hundred blogs in a single database, that sounds well, but clearly it is better to have each own blog in a database. I will have to test the plugin. I wish someone could comment on their experience with this, before.

Thanks, sandra.
