Powered By Network Solutions: How To Automatically Install WordPress to a Subdomain

As your web presence increases, you may require the addition of subdomains for your website. Subdomains help you organize your content and provide additional advantages with navigation. Subdomains are like children to your parent or top-level domain. You can put a page of your site into the Subdomain, like shop.domainname.com. In some cases, customers create a separate website and put it in the Subdomain.
