I already have a website that is built on php. My control panel does not have wordpress installer, is it because of php?

Should I ask my web hoster where the word press, one click option is? Do I have manually install it through the codex (http://codex.wordpress.org/Installing_WordPress).

Since I have a domain and php website that is working, i would like to use a sub domain for this course.

How can i do that?

Hi Nthulane, availability of the 1 Click install will depend on your web host. I would ask them if they support it and where to find it.

If you're able to create subdomains you should have an icon called "subdomains" shown when you log into cPanel. Here is the cPanel documentation for creating a subdomain. Any queries would again be best sent to your host regarding this.

Thank you very much. I have enquired about this with my hosting company.
