Hello Everyone!

I’ve hit a wall today with something I’m trying to do, I honestly thought it would be quite an easy task, but I’m either missing something simple or I’m looking at the problem the wrong way.

Some Detail on my setup
Domain is with name.com
Hosting is shared hosting package with hostgator

What I’m trying to do
I’ve created a blog website using wordpress with lots of categories. Currently they’re accessed by link on the website as usual. Lets call it "website.com", with the categories as "cat1","cat2","cat3" etc., so right now they’re website.com/cat1 or website.com/cat2
What I’d like to do is create individual "cnames?", so they can become something like cat1.website.com , cat2.website.com , cat3.website.com etc.

So far I’m thinking I can just do this on my hosting side, setup subdomains and redirects perhaps? or is there an easier way I’m missing?

Thanks in advance for any advice!
