HOW TO CREATE BLUEHOST SUB-DOMAIN AND INSTALL WORDPRESS?

WHAT IS A SUB-DOMAIN?

A sub-domain, or domain within a domain, is a prefix added to your original domain name. Just like a regular domain name, you may direct them to a folder to host a website. A sub domain is a domain that is part of a larger domain, such as the root domain. Sub-domains, unlike domains, can be easily created without expense, and most web servers should allow you to host the sites and sub-domains without further charges. Do you want to extend your hosting account with more domains? Check out this guide for a free way to create sub-domain for Bluehost.

Sub domains are commonly used as URLs for different sections of your website. However, sub-domains can also be used to build new websites similar to top-level root domains. If you use Bluehost for your domain, you’ll need to change your DNS settings to point the domain/sub-domain to JotUrl servers.
