Multisite subdomains without wildcards on GoDaddy: possible?

    I’ve got the multisite functionality set up and working fine (as far as I know). My first blog is working fine in my root domain (dubiosity.net).

    I tried to set up the wildcard thing in my DNS settings, but apparently GoDaddy doesn’t allow that. So I added an entry for “testsite” (testsite.dubiosity.net) and that’s pointing to “@” (my server’s address, as far as I know).

    But, that doesn’t work. I got a Forbidden error.

    I guess what I’m wondering is, can I still make this work without the ability to use wildcards? Or should I switch to subfolders? I barely understand what I’m doing, by the way.

    Thanks!

  • He meant go to wp-admin under Super admin -> Sites and click “add a new site”.

    okay, so you (anantshri, Andrea_r) are saying that we really dont need the “wildcard”? just create the subdomains set to wordpress public_html folder, add in the subdomains in the WP ADMIN, and thats all? no wildcard needed?

    thanks

    You don’t NEED the wildcard, if you’re willing to manually create the subdomains and point them correctly. But … most of us would rather have it easy ??

    This is a “last resort” method and depends entirely on your host.

    ahhhh ok thanks. thats works perfect for me. I already did it.

    Thanks for you help and your time.
