Okay, I understand the issue here. It’s similar to what we went through [here].([Multisite domains not working](https://community.kinsta.com/t/multisite-domains-not-working/1280)) So you will need to add your subdomains to your hosts file manually in order for the DNS to route. We have a guide here with instructions for Windows and Mac: [How to Edit Your Hosts File - Preview Site Before Updating DNS](https://kinsta.com/knowledgebase/edit-hosts-file/#edit-hosts-file-windows) Basically, you just need to find the lines that coincide with your multisite 127.0.0.1 multisite.local 127.0.0.1 www.multisite.local ::1 multisite.local ::1 www.multisite.local Then add your subdomain beneath: 127.0.0.1 multisite.local 127.0.0.1 www.multisite.local **127.0.0.1 subdomain.multisite.local** ::1 multisite.local ::1 www.multisite.local **::1 subdomain.multisite.local** After saving you should be able to navigate to that subdomain. Sorry, I completely forgot about this aspect and was concentrating on the database issues. I have brought this to our developers’ attention again because it’s not really a smooth process. I’m hoping we can get it automated/simplified. --- _[View the full topic](https://community.kinsta.com/t/local-multisite-new-sites-cannot-be-reached/1479)._
