Primary Domain – Non-WordPress Site?

I’m not a multi-site expert so I may be wrong on this but it’s my understanding that you can do something like this:

primary-domain.com – non wordpress
primary-domain.com/subdomain – wordpress multisite root
primary-domain/subdomain/subdomain -(sites under WP multisite)
or
primary-domain.com – non wordpress
subdomain.primary-domain.com – wp mutlisite root
subdomain2.primary-domain.com – (subsite domains under wp multisite)

see https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Create_A_Network for specific details on installing multisite WordPress

This just confused me more. What I’ll do is start working on creating the network of sites. And if I face any issues I’ll come here and post.

Update:

I just completed the steps in Create A Network.

Now, I have WordPress installed in a sub-directory, (and everything is working fine. I can login, post, etc.) but I don’t know how to proceed. What should I do after adding a new site under primary-domain.com/folder/wp-admin/network/site-new.php.

The last thing I did was that I added the new desired domain under addon domains of cPanel. Now how do I proceed to making it work like a site addon-domain.com.

I’m more confused now. Need advice.

Update: This problem has been partly resolved. (Meaning: It is possible to do it.)
