    then you will need to change your hosting provider, or go for the subfolder install option.

    It’s all covered on the WordPress page I pointed you to.

    @adiljaved what @rogercoathup said, go multisite subdirectory structure for subblogs as in http://example.com/subsite1 (instead of http://subsite1.example.com) if you don’t want to change servers.

    works and bluehost.
    Advanced DNS Editor
    Add A Records
    *.uetblogs.com A xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

    Subdomains
    create subdomain *
    * .uetblogs.com /public_html

    install manually

    I installed on bluehost and it worked.
    Bluehost problem is that later you will have problems with file count

    or as said @ rogercoathup change provider or installed in the subdirectory as said @ mercime

    I see that you installed wordpress.
    follow the steps and pay attention to what appears.
    you to succeed
