Hmm… WP3 isn’t going to be easy to use fully with Bluehost, is it?

My needs are sub-domains that can be made into fully qualified URLs.

For instance, I have mywebsite.com running WP3.

I have a WP3 site called “family”. As a sub-domain, it would be family.mywebsite.com, and I want it to be http://www.family.com.

Is this going to be possible on Bluehost? And for those of us who are just technically proficient enough to be dangerous, will there be some sort of instruction/tutorial available?

Hello Bluehost Review,

I am using bluehost and are you talking about creating a new subdomain “*” and not wildcard subdomain

Than you for your reply.

I just wonder why they keep saying that is not possible.

hi Andrea,

we test this once again. login to bluehost cpanel and get to addon domain section and adding in a wildcard subdomain *
it was successful with result shown as:

“SubDomain Creation
*.bluehostreview.org has been created! “

Something is wrong with this article or with Bluehost support:

“We do not support wildcard subdomains or wildcard dns. Adding the entries will just cause you cpanel to have problems.

Apparently, I have to keep my website on the awful Godaddy.
