Hi All,

I have a main domain name i.e. maindomain.com however i would like to install a different theme on the sub domain as i would like to use the sub-domains as different samples for my web design business.

Is this possible?

Thanks for your help.

    You can... install wordpress on subdomains and install different themes..
    But I think some programmers have ways on how to create some themes oprevious in just 1 installed wordpress.. try asking at programming folder.

    A way you can do is simply to install WordPress on the sub domain and install a different theme on that.

    If your host have Cpanel it is just to make a sub folder in your root, and then install WP there.

    Then you can have like

    sub1.yourdomain.com
    sub2.yourdomain.com
    sub3.yourdomain.com

    Else you can install a theme switcher for your site - found something here:

    Yes, you can add a sub domain "subdomain.sitename. com" You should be able to do this from your Control Panel and then download WordPress and then upload your theme. Or you can create a directory "sitename.com/directoryname" Your hosting company will be able to guide you thru the process.

      yes you can do it easily, and if your business need lots of subdomain, then instead of wordpress...go for MU wordpress installation it will help you to maintain everything from single installation...if you need help to understand how it works just let me know.
      i have enough experience to handle this.
