How to add WordPress site to existing domain on webhostingforstudents.com?

I already have a domain on webhostingforstudents.com, which contains my fledgling portfolio site. Is it feasible/advisable/doable to add a WordPress site to the same domain? If so, how?

Hi Ethan,

You can host several wordpress installs on the same domain. It will just be your domain.com/wordpressinstall. All you have to do is create a folder in your main root with the name of the wordpressinstall and it will be installed on the same domain:)

Make sure you create a folder and install wordpress in that folder else Wordpress will be installed on your main domain like www.domain.com instead of www.domain.com/wordpressinstall
