Hi. My domain name was purchased through my hosting company; they are the same company.
I tend to think I still go through this process to connect the new site even if it a subdomain. Correct?
Patty, it depends on your domain/hosting company. Usually it is automatic actually, and you don’t need to “connect” anything, but in some hosting companies, you do need to connect your domain to the hosting plan you have so you should check to be sure.
