Installing without domain? Advice Needed.

  • I already have a hosting service and two websites hosted on my server. I would like to install wordpress on the server in a folder that I create and try it out before I purchase a new domain name for another site. Is there anyway to do this without putting the wordpress install folder in a sub directory of one of my other websites? Thanks in advance!!

  • Just instal on a subdomain. This is what I usually do:

    My main site is: https://www.mainsite.com

    Thenk I have an idea of a new project using WP, so I install it at:

    thenewproject.com.mainsite.com

    sometimes i have too many such ideas, i do like this:

    thenewproject.com.1.mainsite.com
    theotherproject.net.1.mainsite.com
    thenewproject.com.2.mainsite.com
    theotherproject.net.2.mainsite.com

    my hosting allowed multiple domains, so I just add the projects as new domains. you can still use subdomains.

    But then how would I transfer once I register a new domain for the site? Is that possible?

    You can move it after…see…LINK
