Debby Beachy
Courses Plus Student 2,096 PointsI have a hosting plan with Bluehost, I also have a domain. Can I use a sub-domain, test.debbybeachy.com?
I clicked the button which say's, "I already have a domain name" I entered my sub-domain and, a red warning pops up saying, "The domain you entered is not valid. Enter only the part after the www. and include the TLD.
Thanks

If you already have your domain hosted on bluehost you should be able to create the subdomain on there. You don't need to register hosting again.
Please note I haven't done either of these on bluehost before - just passing on the info :)

Courses Plus Student 2,096 PointsHi Rich, I thought so but I hope I don't have to use Treehouse's hosting service to take the course when I already have a domain. Actually I think they use Bluehost.

25,869 PointsHi Debby,
Don't worry, you don't need to use Treehouse's hosting for the course. It's just one company you're able to use. If you run in to any problems with the WordPress install on bluehost I would contact the server support as they should be able to identify and issues for you. The install process should be the same but I can't give you exact details I'm afraid as I haven't hosted any of my websites with bluehost.
