In the "Host" or "Name" field, enter the subdomain name you want to create. For example, if you want to create a subdomain called "blog.yourdomain.com," enter "blog" in this field.
In the "Value" or "Destination" field, enter the URL or domain of your WordPress hosting provider. This information is usually provided by your hosting service. It might look something like "yourwordpresshosting.com" or "yourwordpresshostingprovider.wordpress.com."

Generally, you can access your hosting account's control panel or cPanel and find an option to install WordPress. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation.

Step 9: Configure WordPress

After the WordPress installation is complete, you can access your subdomain's WordPress dashboard by visiting "subdomain.yourdomain.com/wp-admin" (replace "subdomain" and "yourdomain" with your actual subdomain and domain).
