    I plan to register a domain name ‘xxx.org’ for a website that will include a subdomain, ‘sub.xxx.org.’ Can I register a second domain ‘abc.org to point to ‘sub.xxx.org’?

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    Have you read the relevant support docs? https://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/

    Map a subdomain (for a domain with an existing website) to your WordPress.com blog – if you already have a website you don’t want to affect, and you want to add a blog to it under a subdomain (for example, blog.yourgroovydomain.com). http://support.wordpress.com/domain-mapping/map-subdomain/

    Hi there,

    It would be much easier to give you an accurate answer if you provide the actual domains and sites involved. For example, will the first domain be connected to a WordPress.com site or a site somewhere else? And how about the subdomain?

    You can’t have the root and a subdomain of the same domain pointed to two different WordPress.com sites. But you can have the root pointed here, and point a subdomain to a different host.

    Or you can have a subdomain mapped to a WordPress.com site, provided the root is pointing somewhere else, and have a different domain mapped to the same site.
