Overview

You can’t serve just one page of a WordPress site on a subdomain while keeping the rest of the site on the primary domain. WordPress assigns the entire installation to a single domain or subdomain.

Technical Explanation

• A single WordPress installation uses one domain or subdomain.
• Individual pages cannot have different domains/subdomains within the same installation.

Practical Alternatives

1) Create a Separate WordPress Installation (Recommended)

How it works

• WPCloud sets up a fresh WordPress install on your chosen subdomain (e.g., landing.mydomain.com).
• You copy or rebuild the target page in that new install.

Benefits

• Clean separation of content
• Independent management and plugins
• No WordPress URL limitations

To request

• Open a support ticket and specify the subdomain: “Please set up a new WordPress installation at landing.mydomain.com.”

2) Use a Page-Specific Redirect

How it works

• WPCloud points your subdomain to the page on your main site via a redirect.

Example

• Redirect landing.domain.com → domain.com/landing-page

To request

• Open a ticket with:
  • Desired subdomain
  • Target page URL
  “Please set up a redirect from landing.mydomain.com to mydomain.com/landing-page.”

How to Request Implementation

1. Open a ticket at support.wpcloud.ca.
2. Indicate which option you prefer (separate install or redirect).
3. Include the desired subdomain and, for redirects, the target page URL.

Our team typically completes these requests within 15–30 minutes of receiving the details.
