Create a sub-site on the cloud host server.

Published: 2011-03-02

 A subsite is only relative to the original website; its directory is under a subdirectory of the main website, so we call it a subsite, and the subsite itself is also a new website, so setting up a subsite is actually creating a new site.

The Management Assistant supports subsite creation. For details, please refer to: https://www.west.cn/faq/list.asp?unid=659
