 * Set up wildcard subdomans on your host. If you;re on shared they have to have
   added it for you.
 * Add a DNS record for *.yourdoamin.com.
 * Set up multisite.
 * Visit Network admin -> sites-> add new.
 * That’s it.

 * Thanks for answer Andrea!
    I have multisite already set up to use subdirectories
   instead of subdomains. What do you suggest me to do? Can I just follow your instructions
   anyway or do i need to make a complete new install?

 * The way you have it set up, then you’d use subFOLDERS.
 * If you want subdomains, the first thing you need to do is ask your host if they
   support wildcard subdomains. because if they do not there’s no point in switching.

 * Yes my host actually support wildcard subdomains. I am trying to figure out how
   to switch between both options.

 * ok now I need to get help with something more serious actually: I moved all my
   wp files from subdir. folder to root public html folder, in order to get my blog
   as my primary domain. Now when I go to “domain.com” instaed of “domain.com/something”,
   i can find my wp blog. But then when i want to log in to admin page I can’t anymore.
   Does anyone know what I need to do pls??

 * Is this a new install? Might be easier to blow it away and start over.

 * I think you’re right, I take that option and will start everything back from 
   scratch. Thanks for your answers!
