## Supported Types
## WordPress Multisite
Whalesync supports WordPress Multisite installations. Each site in your network is treated as its own independent instance, so **you need to create one base per site** you want to sync.
The URL you provide when connecting determines which site Whalesync will sync with:
| Site | URL Example |
| --------- | -------------------------------------- |
| Main site | `https://whalesync-wp.com/` |
| Subsite | `https://whalesync-wp.com/sub-site-1/` |
If you want to sync multiple sites in your network, create a separate base for each one using the appropriate URL.
## Things to keep in mind
