If you run more than one WordPress install, or if you have clients that run WordPress sites that you’re responsible for, then you know how much of a pain it can be to log in to each site every time you need to do things like update plugins, themes, or WordPress core itself.
Fortunately, there are a number of solutions out there that will let you manage multiple WordPress websites from one central location. This article give you a brief overview of 2 services : ManageWp and CmsCommander
