Currently i have my website hosted in DiscountAsp.Net. I want to add a new website by creating a new subdomain to my existing main domain name. I understand discountasp.net only allows sub domain redirection to a page on my main domain. But, my requirement is the sub domain will be altogether new website which needs to operate with the subdomain. For example, https://stackoverflow.com/ and sub domain site is http://blog.stackoverflow.com where both are different website. i want similar setup for my website too. Any suggestion to do that in Discountasp.net or in a different asp.net hosting company..? I am ready to shift my hosting if the new host provides option for adding new website with sub domain.
Another question, Can i have my main website hosted in DisocuntAsp.net and subdomain to a different hosting account(for ex:godaddy)? Please let me know how to do it?
Thanks in advance!
I have no idea about DiscountASP.net but check from your hosting control panel if there is a way to create new web application, if there is, then you can mark the folder that contains the files for "sub domain website" as a web application.
Between I run a small hosting company myself and we do provide the functionality to create separate website for sub domains :)

Background:
So I have a website which is up and running. But now I want to change the hosting provider of my existing website due to certain issues.
Since, I am changing my hosting provider I thought I had do some website changes as well so I am going to buy a new WordPress theme from a third-party and run it on the new hosting provider.
My research
For what I learned, I will have to buy a different domain name and host my newly bought WordPress theme on it. And when I have made the desired changes to my WordPress theme then I can change the domain settings with my new hosting provider and redirect the old website links to the new website.
My question is
How can I host my new website on the same domain while my old website is still hosted? Is that even possible?
Is there a way where I can keep my existing website running while I am working on my new website but the new website needs to run on the same domain name as the old website was running on?
I will give you 3 solutions to solve this problem depending on your ability.
On live site running you login hosting and create new site dev after done you can point domain to new hosting and move code ( use plugin i think point domain + souce about 1 - 2h if update delay can 1 day ), if you are anxious you can temporarily turn off the indexing.
New hosting provider when payment done they'll send you link static domain temporary ( or use domain free: tk, co.cc,... ) and you working it after done you need point domain and update url in database.
Old hosting provider you can create new subdomain but point it to new hosting provider and working in new hosting when done you only point main domain to new hosting after use plugin clone to root site.
Can use DNS but you need you need to have experience with the system.
Hope to help you solve your problem.
Note:
You can learn plugin Duplicator best migration hosting.
This is what you should do.
Create a full backup of your exiting files and database
Activate the maintainance mode
Install your new theme into your current wordpress installation
Make the required changes
Once you are happy get a full back up including database
Do the DNS changes on your domain register
Upload your site, to your new host , to the correct path / folder
Wait for the DNS update and your are good to go.
I would like to work on creating some web sites for my portfolio(I already have one and it's created with wordpress), but I don't know what to do with domain and stuff. Should I purchase a domain and a hosting for each web site I create??
Well, it is completely your decision. You can access your sites with temporary URLs if your hosting provider offers. If you want to access each wordpress sites with separate domains like; http://example.com http://example2.com, you will have to register the domains and point them to your hosting providers' server.
Basically, you will get nameservers from them which you can set from your domain control panel (From where you purchase domain).
I have a used domain access module (Drupal 7) for creating a website. My requirement is, there will be one main site and many sub websites in the same domain. all the sub websites will access the same database and the source code of main website. All this websites will be in a VPS hosting. One Main website and all other sub websites are sub-domains, created. For Example:
enter code here example.com -- Main website.
one.example.com -- sub website.
two.example.com -- sub website.
three.example.com -- sub website.
Now, the scenario is, the database and the source are in example.com. Can I have a sub-website as another domain like apple.com, orange.com -- sub-websites
Is this possible? and in which server I have to place my database and code.
Do you need to share content between the various sites? If so, you'll probably want to use Drupal's Domain Access module (as you've tagged this question). However, if these are all going to be distinct sites that do not have to share content (except maybe through Aggregation or Feeds) - you can avoid that module.
I'm pretty sure the approach you want to take is documented here: https://drupal.org/node/2622 - basically, you use one database, but each site uses its own table prefix to distinguish it from the other sites.
As far as running multiple sites from one Drupal root, you can use the built-in multisite support: https://drupal.org/documentation/install/multi-site . I don't think you will need drupal domain access at all in this case.
I've got a ASP.NET website which has a domain name. I've got another web solution, and I want to route this solution to subdomain.
Example :
I've got website which has a www.mydomain.com domain name,
And I want to give domain name like sub.mydomain.com.
Any help would be great. I'm a newbie in this situation.
It all depends on your dns settings and how easy they are to control. If you have a cPanel provided by your hosting company this is usually easy to do. The websites have to be on the same url usually but a sub domain can forward to an external website.
Contact your hosting company/domain provider about using sub domains.
I have two different domain
1)firstsite.com ........... Domain register http://godaddy.com/ and hosting justhost
2)secondsite.com .......... Domain register http://godaddy.com/ and hosting justhost
Both site have diffrent Cpanel,Ftp,Database
i have installed wordpress both site root directory
Task: Make single wp-admin for both site(mean to say operate both site with single admin panel)
i have follow those step do it on firstsite.com site
1)First create multisite network setup with help below link
Create A Network
2)For Domain mapping use below link
WordPress MU Domain Mapping
but that setup is successfully working for sub domain not for separate domain(i can include other site like sub.firstsite.com and there is no option for separate domain secondsite.com)
so plz guide me wht i m doing is that correct way or its not possible.
You are doing it on the correct way :)
But network administration only manage users / sites / extensions / themes. Each sub site has it own admin for regular Wordpress Admin.
For example my network:
Main website http://basgrospoing.fr
sub sites:
http://worldgamecup.basgrospoing.fr
http://kenbogard.basgrospoing.fr
http://republicofighters.basgrospoing.fr
