  1. niceeee, I was hooping for this tutorial!!

    I have some sites, and want to use the subdomain 🙂

  2. Thank you much for this clear explanation. I had tried doing this following some other info and they did not provide the correct instructions. This is perfect and it only took about 10 minutes for the subdomain to become live!
