 * Hi I need to understand which wordpress version you have installed for the first
   time and then which version you are after updates.
    From wordpress 4.5 or higher
   there is no need for plugins to manage the multisite if you want the standard
   behavior. Create a site and then rename it in the subdomain you want to use for
   that site. [http://www.yoursite.com/wp-admin/network/sites.php](http://www.yoursite.com/wp-admin/network/sites.php)
   this is the link where it shows the configuration of your primary site and secondary
   sites .. see here the ip for the secondary sites? A backup of the files and database
   is required before mapping the subdomains or making any changes.

 * Whatever your choice whether to install a subdomain on subdomain or on subdirectories
   you can still map in subdomain after having edited from the network on the sites.
