Overview
Subdomains
In order to manage subdomains on your account, you first need to log into your cPanel. If you are not sure how to log into your cPanel, you can find out here.
Once logged in, you will want to navigate to the Subdomains app in the Domains section.
Subdomains
A subdomain uses a prefix in conjunction with the domain name and exists as a subdirectory in your public_html (Document Root) directory. For example, if the registered domain name is domain.com, the subdomain will be prefix. domain.com. You can use subdomains to create unique user accounts for “vanity domains.” This is helpful if, for example, you have a blog, or any other type of website that uses a domain specifically titled for a user.
Once you access your Subdomain app, you will see where you can add subdomains, as well as a list of your current subdomains.
Create a Subdomain
To create a subdomain, you only need to enter the prefix in the Subdomain field, and then select the domain from the Domain drop down. Once you select the domain, the Document Root field will auto populate, but you can enter a different folder here if you like. Once satisfied with your entries, hit the Create button.
Modify a Subdomains
Here you will see a list of all your current subdomains. From the list you can:
- Access the file manager by clicking on the path under Document Root
- Edit the Document Root by clicking on the pencil icon
- Remove the subdomain
- Manage the subdomain redirect
