Short answer. Absolutely. Here's when we recommend to install the Hub Builder in an existing WordPress site.

Seamless Integration – You want to build the Dollie Hub inside your existing WordPress site and see how it behaves alongside your plugins and theme(s).

Local Development – You have a local development environment and want to work on your Dollie Hub from there.

On-Premise / Enterprise Use – You want to build your Dollie Hub inside your on-premise environment.

In most other cases we recommend you to set up a new WordPress installation dedicated to your Hub. If you sign up for our Hub Builder Plan we will host your Hub for free in your Private Cloud. This ensure that also your customer Hub is powered by our next-generation container technology built for scale and performance.
