    Exclamation Wordpress MU running sub-domain mode on Bluehost?

    Hi, does anyone have experience in running wordpress mu in sub-domain mode on bluehost? (registered user can have blog url like: http://blogname.yoursite.com), I am trying to install wordpress mu in sub-domain mode, but it seems it does not work, it can not create the blog like http://blogname.yoursite.com for the users, I noticed that bluehost does not support wildcard subdomains, probably that is why it does not work, does anyone know how to sort it out? or any workaround, I really wanna run wordpress mu in sub-domain mode on my website, and I do not wanna move my site from bluehost, thanks a lot!

    I couldn't find a way to modify the A record for the domain on bluehost, but somebody else said they managed, so I don't know how they did it.

    I don't know what the appeal is of using a subdomain over a folder, and it's a lot less trouble to use folders.

    me.someplace.com vs someplace.com/me seems like a pretty trivial difference.

    If somebody does know how to do this though, I'd like to see.

    You may be able to get support to do it for you, because I cannot for the life of me find a way to edit them.

    believe or not, some people (especially some users on my website) really think me.someplace.com is much better than someplace.com/me, that is why I need sub-domain support, but it seems it is a problem on Bluehost, they do not support wildcard sub-domains...

    You should be able to manually set up whatever sub-domains you want. To be able to give others the ability to do the same on your account you'd need a reseller account - something BlueHost don't offer.
