Hi!
Let’s say your main website (the one you’re turning into a multisite) is called mysite.com.
A sub-domain setup would mean that any sites you add using multisite would look like this: newsite1.mysite.com
A sub-directory setup would mean that any sites you add using multisite would look like this: mysite.com/newsite1
To use sub-domains, your host needs to allow you to have Wildcard DNS records IF you want to be able to create new sites on-demand (you can create new sites manually though). Also, WordPress needs to be installed in your root directory (public_html), not in a sub-directory, on your server.
Since each of your sites will have their own unique domain name, it would probably make sense to use the sub-domain setup. You can then use a plugin like WPMU Domain Mapping to change the url’s from
newsite1.mysite.com to newsite1.com.
Does that help?
Yes. It does. Thanks,
So now I should ask the hosting company (Mochahost) if I am allowed to have Wildcard DNS records ?
(When I asked them If they support WPMU They said yes)
My hosting company (Mochahost says that Wildcard DNS is not supported (at all)
My websites are affiliate sites, each one with a uniqe domain name, about a different topic.
What do I do now? can I create WPMU with Sub-directories ?
