  Hi guys,
  I would like to ask you for help. At the moment I’m running magazine on mapped domain, managed by wordpress.com. Because the readers count is increasing I would like to add a sub-domain (galerry.somedomain.com) where gallery theme will be accessible. Now the question:
  Do I need to create another separate web hosting for this sub domain? If yes, how the current domain (somedomain.com) will be pointed (redirected) to the new sub-domain (galerry.somedomain.com)?

  Thanks for any advice
  Roman

  Hi romanpetrlik,

  You don’t need to create another separate web hosting account to add a sub-domain here in WordPress.com.

  If you would like to create a sub-domain to a domain you already own in WordPress.com, please read and follow the steps listed in the below supprt documentation.

  Hope that helps.

  Thank you.

  Hi Roman,

  You can create a new .wordpress.com site under your current account and then map it to your subdomain. Here are the instructions for your case:

  If you have any other questions, just let me know and I’ll be happy to help.
