  I have mapped my domain virarandwest to wordpress. The registrar was Go Daddy but nameservers have been mapped to wordpress. I want to create a subdomain and point it to fatcow hosting services. How do I do this?

  If you have a WordPress.com-mapped domain – any domain with nameservers pointing to us – then you can use the Edit DNS feature to add subdomains that point to outside services. Instructions are here:

  Subdomains are created using CNAME records, in the format:

  CNAME <subdomain> <host>.
