How to create

a subdomain

on your

Wordpress

Why is there a need to

create a subdomain on

Wordpress?

Creating a subdomain

will allow you to manage

several accounts with

different themes using a

single website

First, log-in to your C-

Panel.

“cPanel is a Linux-based

web hosting control panel

that provides a graphical

interface and automation

tools designed to simplify

the process of hosting a

web site.”

My C-Panel is on

Interserver

Click where the arrow is

pointed

Click on the File Manager

Click Go

Click on New Folder

Assign a name for your

New Folder

Click on the new folder you

just created

Again, click on New Folder

to create another one

Assign another name for

the new folder just

created

What I did was to create a

new folder inside the new

one I created previously

On your browser, type

your site plus the added

folders, e.g.

samsmith.com/portfolioc/thriveall

This should appear on

your browser

Now, it is time to install

Wordpress

Locate the Zipped

Wordpress from your file

Note: You should have

downloaded the newest

version of Wordpress in

your file for easy access

Once Wordpress has

uploaded, click Go Back

Click Extract File

In the meantime, go back

to your file manager and

look for MySQL

Databases

Click MYSQL Databases

A New MySQL Database

name has been created.

Click Go Back

Below is the new

MySQL database name

Use the same name as

what you just created In

your MySQL Database

for easy management

Supply a password. Feel

free to use the password

generator

Click Create a User

This is the new MySQL

user name. Click Go Back.

Click on the dropdown key

and locate the username

you just created in MySQL

Database

A notification will come

out once changes have

been made on privileges

Go back to the

Wordpress you just

installed and

unzipped

Click Select all

Right click and use Move

Remove or delete /Wordpress

and click Move Files

Wordpress has been

moved

Code Editor, you will now

needed: Database name,

which you made

earlier
