Create subdomain from a domain bought via WordPress

  • Hi people,

    Sorry if that question has been answered before, but I couldn’t find anything that fitted my question exactly.

    I just started setting up my website, and I bought a domain lastname.com via the WordPress interface. Everything went well, and the mapping works fine, but I’ve just decided that I’d prefer my site address to be at firstname.lastname.com

    If I type firstname.lastname.com in my browser, I am redirected to my website, but the address changes itself to lastname.com in the browser. Is there anyway I could keep it appearing as firstname.lastname.com?

    I’ve tried updating the DNS records with “CNAME firstname lastname.com.” which didn’t change anything.

    You will probably have guessed by now that I know nothing about all of this, so thanks for your help!

    Julien

  • Are you using a blog hosted on WordPress.com?

    If so, this forum is for self-hosted/managed www.ads-software.com blogs. The kind people at the WordPress.com forums may be on hand to help you out. There should be a way to add a subdomain like you want. I’ve done it on my own servers before. I’m not familiar with their setup, but I’m sure there is someone who knows what to do:

    Good luck with it.
