Q about sub domains.

[GilloD]

Thank you for aiding my graceless wander towards technical competency- We need to set up a subdomain to host our Wordpress blog. Do we do this through our web host (Who I'd rather not have involved) or through our registrar?

its through the webhost

Uggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. You have to motherfucking ask them for EVERYTHING. I've been waiting EIGHT DAYS for them to copy/paste a Google Map into an HTML file because they won't let me do it myself.

if they dont offer a control panel of sorts they arent a host worth dealing with

but I read you are stuck with them or something, that sucks

change hosts

At the end of the year we absolutely will. It's pulling teeth with them. But we're at a big transition moment and before I was hired I think my boss signed a contract for a year, so we're fucking stuck for now.

They won't let you edit HTML files???  WTF kind of host is this?

[Eric P]

my company's previous host was like that.

it was amazing

stop giving this host money, FFS.  transfer your domain elseware.  it takes me a matter of minutes to have a subdomain up and running.

Feeling empowered, I sent them a message that was like: "This is f'in easy, do it and have it done by the end of the day, this shouldn't take so long" and lo and behold it got done iin like 3 hours. Awesome
