Create Subdomain in cPanel

Creating a subdomain in cPanel is a simple process that can be done in just a few steps. A subdomain is a domain that is part of a larger domain, and it can be used to organize content on your website or to create a separate section of your site. Here is a step-by-step guide on how to create a subdomain in cPanel:

Step-by-Step Guide:

1. Log into cPanel on the account to add the subdomain on
   • To log in, go to your website’s URL followed by “/cpanel” (e.g. www.example.com/cpanel) and enter your cPanel username and password.
2. Click “Domains” under the “Domains” section
   • This will take you to the Domains page where you can manage your domains and subdomains.
3. Click the “Create A New Domain” button
   • This button is located at the top of the Domains page and will open a new page where you can create a new subdomain.
4. Enter the subdomain name to add in the “Domain” text box.
   • This is where you will enter the name of your subdomain (e.g. blog.example.com).
5. Deselect the “Share document root (/home/example/public_html) with “example.com”.” option.
   • This option is selected by default, but you will need to deselect it to create a separate directory for your subdomain.
6. Enter the directory where you want the files for this subdomain to exist.
   • This is where you will specify the directory where your subdomain’s files will be stored (e.g. /public_html/blog).
7. Click the “Submit” button.
   • Once you have entered all the necessary information, click the Submit button to create your new subdomain.

Congratulations! You have successfully created a subdomain in cPanel. You can now use this subdomain to organize your website’s content or to create a separate section of your site. Remember that it may take some time for your subdomain to become active, so be patient and check back later to make sure everything is working properly.
