Connecting a site to another domain – without transferring the entire domain to WordPress

    Hello, we are looking to use WordPress to host our company blog. We would like thr address to be our current domain +/blog.

    However I am unsure how to set this up, as both options for using an owned domain seem to involve transferring the whole domain over to WordPress or setting the domain to point to WordPress. Ideally only domain+/blog would point to the WordPress site, but the main Company website should remain as-is. Or would this be possible using a blog.DOMAIN URL configuration?

    Any advice would be most appreciated.

    I don’t have a site linked to this WordPress.com account

    You cannot direct a directory like /blog to a site here at WordPress.com, but you can instead connect a subdomain, like blog.example.com by following these steps: https://wordpress.com/support/domains/connect-subdomain/

    Thank you! Could I possibly have two subdomains link to different pages of my WordPress site?

    Like blog.example.com & tutorials.example.com? Both of those linking to the same WordPress site, just two different pages of the site.

    That won’t be possible here, but you can link two different subdomains to two differed WordPress.com sites.
