  Hi There

  I am after some advice for creating a new blog that links to our existing domain. We current have an ASP.NET site http://www.priorydirect.co.uk, due to hosting restrictions we cannot host the WordPress installation on our servers.

  We are looking for a solution that allows us to host the WordPress install on another server but the blog itself resides under this URL http://www.priorydirect.co.uk/blog.

  If anyone has any previous experience with a similar setup your advice would be greatly appreciated.

  Thanks
  Ben

  You won’t be able to map a /blog directory to a site here at WordPress.com, but if you can create a subdomain with your hosting provider like blog.priorydirect.co.uk (consult their documentation for specifics), you can map that: https://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-subdomain/

  Hi Mac, thanks for the response, I did have a feeling this was the way we would have to proceed.

  Thanks again

  Let us know if you have any trouble getting the sub domain connected.
