Subdomains can point to different sections of your website. In order to create a subdomain in your cPanel account, follow the next steps.
1. Log into your cPanel >> Domains section >> Domains menu.
2. Click the
Create A New Domain button:
3. Enter the subdomain name to add in the
Domain text box:
4. Deselect the
"Share document root (/home/username/public_html) with “domain.tld”." option and enter the directory where you want the files for this subdomain to exist:
5. Click the
Submit button:
NOTE: the newly created subdomain should be available online within 5-10 minutes. However, it may take up to 30-40 minutes for the newly created record to fully propagate world-wide.
You can also create a
wildcard subdomain. Wildcard subdomains allow you to point all the subdomains (existing and non-existing ones) to a specific folder in your account.
It means that if you enter any subdomain in your browser (for example, test.domain.com – not existing, or blog.domain.com – existing), it will show the same content that you uploaded to the folder for the wildcard subdomain.
In order to create it, follow the instructions
here.
That's it!
