How do I create a subdomain in my control panel (cpanel)?
Written by Brad MarkleYou have the ability to create subdomains in cPanel. Sub domains function separately from your main domain. Let’s go over an example. If you have a forum for your site, you could create a subdomain called “forum” – and the address would be “forum.yourdomain.com”
Many people use subdomains for mobile versions for their website, forums, blogs, and stores. Subdomains are easily created in your cPanel. Let’s walk through setting up a subdomain.
- Log into your cPanel
- Go to the “Domains” section and click on “Subdomains”
- Type in the name of the subdomain and select the domain to create it under. It will automatically create a folder for the subdomain in your public_html folder
- Click “Create”

I found the 'help' on creating a subdomain to be frustrating. 1) I was expecting some voice, so I fussed around with volume, etc. until realized the only sound would be mouse clicks, 2) it told me the obvious, but not WHY I would want want to create a subdomain, or WHY I would want to redirect. 3) It said be sure and include a / at the end of the url, but the example only showed a / at the end of the domain name 4) the page I'm looking at has TWO rating bars; which one applies to the tutorial I just saw?
