What do you think about using WordPress MultiSite to run multiple top level domains?

I have been debating this myself. I've come to the conclusion that it's much easier to have separate installs. I have used the same install for a few sites before, using conditional logic in the config.php file.

I found that it is just a bit of a hassle with sitemaps, htacccess, and other files having a few sites pointed at the same folder.

Just too many eggs in 1 basket for me.  Separate installs may take a little more time but I think having them separate better allows for isolating issues, especially if your using a lot of add-ons that may not play well together.

Multisite can be a lot of eggs in one basket. But that basket can also be easily backed up. There is a lot of really cool functionality that can be used through premium services with multisite. Also through these premium services, sitemaps is fine.

 

Having a bunch of plugins running on a multisite install really does bog things down for all sites. But, I typically use few plugins and instead prefer to add needed functionality directly into the themes. So that said, functionality only runs for each site individually.

 

I have launched  a few sites recently running on single site. And have launched other sites on multisite. If I need the advanced functionality, I use multisite. Otherwise, I usually don't want to add too much confusing functionality (super admin) for my clients if it is not needed.
