i am having my site on Blue host, they dont support Wild Card DNS, what should i do now ??

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
