Can a Single WordPress Page Be Accessed via Subdomain?

Understanding WordPress URL limitations and alternative solutions for serving individual pages via subdomains.

ย 

Overview

While it's not possible to serve a single page from a WordPress installation via a subdomain while keeping the rest of the site on the main domain, there are two practical solutions available.


Technical Explanation

WordPress manages URLs at the installation level, meaning:

  • All pages within a single WordPress installation must share the same domain/subdomain
  • You cannot assign different domains/subdomains to individual pages within the same installation

Alternative Solutions

  1. Create a Separate WordPress Installation (Recommended)
      • How it works:
        • WPCloud will set up a fresh WordPress installation on your desired subdomain
        • You will need to copy and set up your landing page content in the new installation
      • Benefits:
        • Clean separation of content
        • Independent management
        • No technical limitations
      • To request:
        • Open a support ticket specifying the desired subdomain
        • Example: "Please set up a new WordPress installation at landing.mydomain.com"
  1. Use a Page-Specific Redirect

How to Request Implementation

  1. Open a support ticket at support.wpcloud.ca
  1. Specify which solution you prefer
  1. Provide:
      • Desired subdomain name
      • For redirects: the target page URL
      • Any specific requirements

Our support team will handle the technical setup of either solution, typically within 15-30 minutes of your request.
