Hello everyone! In this case, people use a regular URL to access it. However, there are some cases when it makes perfect sense to install WordPress on a subdomain.
The number of them you can have on one domain is only limited by your hosting capabilities. See an example:. Of course, a site you create within the subdomain should somehow be related to the one in the main domain.
Both will share your domain name, so it should make sense for the users why these two websites share the same parent domain name. These are the most popular and effective uses of subdomains. In other cases, you should be happy setting up your site in the traditional way.
Some solutions are in many ways similar to subdomains. If you go for an addon domain, the two websites will be completely independent. The only benefit of addon domains is allowing you to use a single hosting interface to work with several websites. So, the only actual alternative to subdomains is WordPress Multisite. With Multisite, you can create a whole network of closely related websites. All of these websites will reside within a single WordPress installation.
Make sure you own the domain name you want to connect to your site and you can update your DNS records you will also have to reset them. You can buy a domain name from any domain name provider.
Do not forget to close the subdomain from search robots for the duration of experiments. Choose if you have several, you can add as many domains and subdomains as you want your desired domain that you want to add — left-click on the domain. Added subdomains are not considered as separate sites. You can create as many subdomains as necessary.
Be sure to make a subdomain for your website — a copy of the main site and a convenient platform for creative experiments. If you want to change your template but do not know its features yet, you can test it on a subdomain fast and without any risks. Or maybe you like a certain plugin but do not yet understand its settings — master it on a subdomain! Subdomains can be especially useful if you want to separate content hosted on a subdomain from the root domain. However, many SEO experts recommend using subfolders in situations where the content is closely related.
If you want to use a subdomain on WordPress, you can create separate WordPress installations on each subdomain or use WordPress Multisite to create separate sites hosted on subdomains but running on a single WordPress instance. How It Works. Use Cases. In-House Marketing Teams.

I keep getting a error saying root. Jan, Hard to say, but I am guessing it is either your "wp-config. Or perhaps it is an issue with the subdirectory permissions. This worked for me, except for steps 6 and 8, I would include the db host address.

WordPress should generate the htaccess file if you resave your permalinks. Hello, I successfully installed WordPress in a subdirectory around 3 weeks ago, I already uploaded a theme, some plugins and made some posts. Question, can I change the name of my subdirectory? My site is still working properly. I am using hostinger. Your host may have set up the redirect for you, if you reach out to your host they should be able to let you know. Just got it to work but little bit worried, does it increases my load time of both pages.
I mean to say that. Yes it will increase bandwidth usage depending on your traffic. Since both WordPress installs share the resources, traffic load on one website will affect the performance of other website as well.
Thank you very much, clear and working. Hello, I dont understand something. What is the difference between installing wordpress in a subdirectory and just creating multiple pages??? I think I did everything as shown in your instructions.

I created a subdirectory with a separate WP install. It looks like the user has to create an account for the main and subdirectory and to login for both the main and subdirectory. Is there a way to let a user who has login to either the main or subdirectory site to have access to the other site without having to login again?
