Creating a Subdomain in cPanel

Written by Brad Markle

Let's first re-visit what a subdomain is. A subdomain is like a "domain within a domain" that any domain on your account can have. Subdomains do not require another domain name. For example, mobile.imhtesting.com could be a subdomain of imhtesting.com

Log into cPanel and click on the "Subdomains" icon under the "Domains" section.

 sub1_copy

Next, fill in the subdomain you want to create and click "Create"

2sub

 

Congratulations! You have added your first subdomain!
