A subdomain<\/strong> is a subsection of your website that can exist as a new website without a new domain name. Use them to create memorable URLs for different content areas of your site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, you can create a subdomain for your blog that is accessible through blog.domain.com.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to create a Subdomain in cPanel<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This tutorial assumes that you\u2019re using the\u00a0Jupiter theme<\/strong>\u00a0for your cPanel account.<\/mark><\/p>\n\n\n\n

1)<\/strong>\u00a0In cPanel<\/a>, locate the \u2018DOMAINS\u2019 section and click the\u00a0Domains<\/strong>\u00a0icon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"how
cPanel > Domains<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

2)<\/strong>\u00a0Click on the\u00a0Create A New Domain<\/strong>\u00a0button<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
cPanel > Domains > Create a New Domain<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

3)<\/strong> Enter the following information:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Domain<\/strong>: enter the subdomain that you want to create<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Document root<\/strong>: leave the checkmark empty for the\u00a0Share document root<\/em>\u00a0option.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Home icon<\/strong>: choose a subdirectory for it in your account\u2019s home directory (above public_html). This subdirectory will store your subdomain\u2019s files.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
    \"how
    Domains > Create a New Subdomain<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    By default cPanel automatically fills in the details for the\u00a0document root<\/em>. You can either leave them as default or modify the information.<\/mark><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    5)<\/strong> The last step is to click Submit <\/strong>button.  <\/strong>The subdomain will be created.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    From cPanel > Domains area, you can see the list of subdomains under your main account, and you can manage or delete these subdomains anytime needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
