Pro Sites Client Subdomain Mapping => subdomain.CLIENTDOMAIN.com

I’m currently using WPMUDEV’s Pro Site and domain mapping to host a multisite.

My Client who owns client_own_domain.com would like to map their own subdomain.client_own_domain.com to one of my multisites.

Is that possible?

    Hi Alex,

    to clarify, if I add their subdomain name to the domain mapping plugin, then they need to add a CNAME to my IP.

    wait for up to 48 hrs to DNS propagation.

    After which their sub domain will be automatically configured to my subdomain? Is that right?

    @Buooy,

    I’m sorry for the delay here. Yes, you’d need to wait for it to propagate. My apologies on the terminology before. You can a few options here:

    In the client’s DNS records, you would need either of these:

    CNAME record: sub.clientdomain.com -> yourdomain.com

    A record: sub.clientdomain.com -> 123.456.123.456 (Your main IP)

    Either of those will allow their subdomain to resolve to your server. At that point you should be able to map it.

    Best regards,
