 * Hi,
 * In a multisite, a domain is to be changed subsequently.
 * Problem description: A multisite was set up in a domain to realize a redesign.
   Several domains were created for this purpose. Now the transition to the live
   switch is to be rehearsed. For this purpose, a subdomain was created from the
   domain to be switched live, which refers to the project. This was realized by
   means of an A record.
 * I get an error message [https://www.XXDOMAIN.de/wp-signup.php?new=SUBDOMAIN.XX](https://www.XXDOMAIN.de/wp-signup.php?new=SUBDOMAIN.XX)
 * Can someone help me, what the error message means, how it can be fixed?
 * Many thanks!

 * This is really not an “error” per se.
 * You’ve pointed the sub-domain to the multisite network.
 * But you’ve not added the domain inside the multisite network itself.
 * So WordPress thinks you want to create a new site for this subdomain in the multisite
   network.
 * If you want this sub-domain you be the new URL of an existing site, you need 
   to go to your network dashboard and edit this site’s address to the sub-domain.
