Beyond this, InfiniteWP offers a broad range of additional features, only available for premium plans. This includes website migration, malware scans, uptime monitoring, and more.
⚙️ How to use InfiniteWP
To use InfiniteWP, you need to download their installer plugin. Once you have the ZIP file, upload and install it on the site you want to use as your hub. When you activate the plugin, it’ll ask you where you want to install the InfiniteWP admin panel:
Note that unlike with MainWP, the InfiniteWP panel doesn’t ‘take over’ the entire website. You will still be able to use your central hub as a live site, which is a nice touch.
During the installation process, the plugin will prompt you to create a new database:
You’ll also have to set up new login credentials before getting access to the management panel. It should be empty, so your first task is to connect one of your websites. When you add a new website through your InfiniteWP panel, it’ll ask for its URL, login info, and activation key:

? Price and details
The InfiniteWP plugin itself is free, and you can use it to connect all of the websites you manage. However, without a license, you’re limited to accessing update management, backup creation, and one-click login features. Here’s a quick break down of the premium licenses:
- Starter: Up to 10 sites for $147 a year
- Developer: Up to 20 sites for $247 a year
- Freelancer: Up to 50 sites for $347 a year
- Agency: Unlimited sites for $447 a year
Although the premium version of InfiniteWP offers similar functionality to MainWP, the latter is a considerably cheaper option with a better interface.
