3.0 multisite as subdomains without wildcard DNS?

  • Hi,

    Can’t seem to learn the answer to this. It was asked by someone else but there was no complete answer.

    I want to do a multisite setup using subdomains but my host, 1&1, does not allow wildcard DNS on a shared plan.

    Is there a workaround to do this by “manually creating” them in the DNS without wildcard DNS? I was thinking that I could manually “point” (via CNAME or something?) each subdomain to the main domain…is possible?

    Thanks!

    To add a little to my last post, I also added now a subdomain in plesk….plus I manually added the folders within the blogs.dir (site #) and (files)

    those are only for file uploads. Being there or not has no effect on if the sub-blogs actually *work*. none.

    If your wildcard subdomain is resolving to the default server page, then it;s not pointed to the right folder; ie – where you installed wordpress.
