Need top host using sub-domain
jguiles said 1 year, 1 month ago:
My main domain is jguiles.com. I recently set up a sub-domain so I can run a blog at blog.jguiles.com. How do I go about hosting for just the sub-domain as I already have the main domain hosted. Will set up blog using Wordpress, and templates from ProPhotoBlogs.com
Thanks

If you want to host a subdomain you’d have to have a hosting account and then go through the setup process. When asked for the domain you’d need to make sure to manually enter the subdomain, like blog.jguiles.com. You’d also have to create an A record for the subdomain manually that points to your hosting account IP.

I hope this helps!

So I need to first purchase the hosting through jguiles.com and then I can go in and manually enter the sub-domain? I do not see an option to select blog.jguiles.com for hosting setup purposes. Thanks!

During the hosting set up you will be able to type the full subdomain into a field. If you make a mistake, not to worry, you can change the primary hosted domain at any time using the steps in this article:
