 * Hello all,
 * I’m having problems setting up my multisite with domain mapping. Current Setup:
 * WP Multisite with subfolder install
    Using WordPress MU Domain Mapping Plugin
 * My question is this:
 * On my web hosting (Bluehost), the primary domain that i’m using for my wordpress
   is not the primary domain attached to my web hosting. So for example:
 * WP Main Domain -> [http://www.hello.com](http://www.hello.com)
    Web Hosting Primary
   Domain -> [http://www.world.com](http://www.world.com)
 * Now, [http://www.hello.com](http://www.hello.com) is an add on domain. So first
   question is, do i use the ip address or cname option when setting up the domain
   settings?
 * second question is, for other domains, how do i setup the A Name or C Name. I
   can’t seem to get it to point to [http://www.hello.com](http://www.hello.com).
   So if my second domain is: [http://www.foo.com](http://www.foo.com), do i need
   to setup a CName www that points to [http://www.hello.com](http://www.hello.com)
   or an AName www that points to [http://www.hello.com](http://www.hello.com)
 * Sorry i’m a noob with mx entries… Hope someone can help me.
 * Thanks!

 * The easiest way to set up domain mapping is to point all your add-on domains 
   to the same folder.. and use the IP
 * So the A records for all of your add-on domains point to your server name (do
   a dig on your hosting domain (world.com) and make them all the same).
    Then you’ll
   need to go into your cpanel or plesk or whatever they give you and point all 
   your add-on domains at the folder you have wordpress installed in. Then enter
   the IP of your server (just ping world.com). Map all your add-on domains through
   the plugin to the various blogs.
 * Good luck 🙂
