Timing Your Intervals

WordPress Multisite Domain Mapping with Media Temple
by
While there are lots of tutorials out there that teach you how to setup domain mapping on your WordPress Multisite install there really aren’t any that deal with a particular issue (let’s call it ‘feature’) on Media Temples servers.
