Unless you are highly knowledgeable in setting up Windows servers with different programs, it would be best to use a Linux server. Hostgator uses Linux servers, and I use Hostgator shared hosting.
If you know of any other hosts that are really good with their shared/dedicated hosting with Wordpress MU, let me know.
There was a thread of a fatal error when someone was installing Wordpress MU onto GoDaddy. In the MU Forums, one of the most intelligent MU people in the community ( VentureMaker ) had some good advice for this problem.
Essentially, Wordpress MU has problems with Windows Servers, and should be installed in Linux servers only. I do not know whether GoDaddy has Linux servers available.
For my MU hosting, I use Hostgator. Their service is pretty good, and they allowed me to install four Wordpress MU CMS’s on a shared hosting system ( one as a subdomain form, three others as a subdirectory form ). None of them have many blogs or get a lot of traffic, but I do know I will have to upgrade to a better Hostgator ( or alternative ) service if there are too many users/blogs/traffic.
Nonetheless, if you are trying to install Wordpress MU, make sure you use a hosting plan with Linux servers. I highly recommend Hostgator if you are looking for good service ( their live chat troubleshooting is pretty good ).

This Mimbo theme is the one downloaded from a year ago. This isn’t the one being currently showcased on the website. I am going to stop this post for now and finish up tomorrow with some good detail on modifications, reviews, features, and more.

I just want to say welcome. This is a site that will review in a thorough manner the plugins, functions, themes, and other stuff for Wordpress and Wordpress MU.
Since Wordpress, along with themes and features, are constantly improving, I am setting up the blog as an open forum posting arrangement. That is, once I create a post about a subject ( ie: Mimbo Theme ), that will be the post for all things Mimbo. If you don’t think it is updated, contact me and I will update the post for you.
I plan on using the Series plugin so that we can all keep track of the how things change with reviews. If you want to contribute to our site, please contact us at contact AT wpjudge.com
