Help connecting self hosted wordpress website to subdomain! (alien.top)

submitted 11 months ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

Hi, all!

I have just finished installing my wordpress setup on my server. The goal is to use it for a subdomain of my website, but I am struggling to make the (DNS?) connection. How do I connect the two? I have created a subdomain at my domain provider, and my wp-config is configured for the subdomain, but I do not understand what I am to do next. I suspect I need to do some kind of DNS connection but I have scoured the internet and can only find cases where people connect to wordpress servers, not my self hosted case.

Help!

If your DNS record points to your server IP that's all it needs from the DNS perspective. Now, your server needs to map those requests to your WordPress website. That's handled by Apache or Nginx, or whatever other server you may be using.
