A. Subdomains for Members
By default, all members have a sub domain created for them for their primary page. The sub domain looks like: username.mydomainname.com
Subdomains for other Purposes
Yes, a sub domain can added and you can do anything you want with that subdomain. Any member with a username that matches the subdomain would not be able to use the subdomain for their primary page.
Shared HostingIf you have shared hosting then we would need to edit the DNS records on our end as a
support request. When doing this, we can have the sub domain point to another hosting account (where you have
hosting elsewhere) and we will have the subdomain point to it. Then, you can do whatever you like on that separate hosting account (exa: install
WordPress).
Dedicated ServerIf you have a dedicated server with us then on the server page you can add a domain for the server and it creates a folder for it. When doing it this way you would enter the full domain (exa: subdomain.mydomain.com). WordPress or anything else you want can be installed in that folder for that subdomain.
WordPress Multisite
When using the WordPress tool you are unable to do subdomains for that WordPress site. The WordPress tool uses WordPress multisite so each member has their own login to WordPress to manage their own blog.

A. You can see the price to change the domain name on the
products page in the software addons section. You can purchase a domain transfer through the shopping cart on the page for your site inside of the WMT client admin. Transferring a domain is a "Task", not a support request, so you are charged a one time for each transfer, you will not consume support credits. However, there may be side affects from the transfer where things links still point to the old domain and/or places where the old name still appears. Time spent fixing these issues are charged as a support request and not included in the set price. We do not check for such issues and you would need to send us a list of issues in a support request for us to fix them. Most transfers with just 1 or 2 pages do not have this issue, but if there is an issue it normally costs less then $25 worth of credits to fix all of the pages.
Transferring the domain take only a couple of hours and is usually done at night as your site will be down during the process. Our software designer will transfer your site. It may take 1-3 days for your task to be worked on (depending on the current work load). You will be contacted when it is time to point your new domain to our servers.
