Steps to create subdomain from cPanel

 

In this article, we will talk about subdomains and how we can create a new subdomain from our cPanel. We will show all the steps to create a subdomain. First, you should know what is a subdomain?

 

Subdomain

A subdomain is an additional part of your main domain name. Subdomains are created to organize and navigate to different sections of your website. You can create multiple subdomains or child domains on your main domain.

For example:

store.yourwebsite.com

In this example, ‘store’ is the subdomain, ‘your website’ is the primary domain and ‘.com’ is the top-level domain (TLD). You can use any text as your subdomain, but you want to make sure it’s easy to type and remember.

Important Points

1. If your hosting provider allows the subdomain feature for your account then you can only create a subdomain.
2. If you are using Cloudflare on your main domain then you must add a CNAME in your Cloudflare account.
3. Your subdomain can take some time to access via http:// (non-SSL) or https:// (SSL) protocol.
