Expand Your Digital Footprint: How to Create a Subdomain in Litescaler

There are times when you want to create a new space for a particular project, but you don’t want to
purchase a new domain name. Perhaps you are creating a blog, a support website, or an online shop.

your Litescaler package.

Log into your Dashboard and click on the “Websites” tab in the left-hand menu. This
