Select the domain name you want to use. If you want to use a subdomain (for example, subdomain.yourdomain.com), you must add the subdomain to your account 

Location - Folder (optional)

Specify the folder where you want to install WordPress. If you want to use WordPress as the website for the domain you have selected in the Domain field, check that the Folder field is empty.
