- Enter a domain or subdomain - Allows you to enter a domain or subdomain that is registered or hosted elsewhere. Type the domain or subdomain with the "www" prefix, e.g. www.mydomain.com or www.sample.mydomain.com

The WordPress installation already comes with the following plug-ins:
- Limit Login Attempts – a plugin that sets a limit to logins and visitors rather than measuring your bandwidth.
- Akismet – a plugin that protects your WordPress blog from spam.
- Ninja Forms – a plugin that provides Webform builder.
- WooCommerce – an eCommerce plugin that allows you to sell anything.
Note: By default, the WooCommerce plugin is disabled. If you wish to use it, you can simply enable it in your WordPress dashboard.
