How to add subdomains

What this solves

You want to add a subdomain (e.g. blog.yoursite.com or shop.yoursite.com). This guide shows how.

In cPanel

Log in to cPanel, open Subdomains. Enter the subdomain name (e.g. blog) and select the main domain. Choose the document root if needed. Click Create. The subdomain and a basic DNS record are created automatically.

Via DNS only

If the subdomain should point elsewhere (e.g. another server), add an A or CNAME record in Zone Editor or DNS Management. For example: blog → A record → your server IP, or blog → CNAME → other.example.com.

After creating

Upload files to the subdomain’s document root (in File Manager or via FTP) or point the record to the right server. Allow a few minutes for DNS to propagate.

When to contact support

If the subdomain doesn’t resolve or you need a wildcard, open a ticket.
