Introduction:
Subdomains are a great way to structure different parts of your website. for example, store.yourdomain.com or blog.yourdomain.com. With Prabhu Host’s cPanel-powered hosting, setting up a subdomain takes just a few minutes and doesn’t require registering a new domain. This guide will show you how to create a subdomain using the updated cPanel interface provided by Prabhu Host.
Step-by-Step Instructions to Create a Subdomain
Step 1: Access Your cPanel Account
-
Log in to your Prabhu Host cPanel using your account credentials.
Step 2: Navigate to the “Domains” Section
-
From the main dashboard, locate the Domains section.
-
Click on the “Domains” icon to proceed.
Step 3: Select “Create a New Domain”
-
Click the “Create a New Domain” button to start the process of adding a subdomain.
Step 4: Enter the Desired Subdomain
-
In the Domain field, type in the subdomain you want to use, such as:
-
app.yourdomain.com -
blog.yourdomain.com
-
Step 5: Disable Document Root Sharing
-
Uncheck the box that says:
“Share document root (/home/username/public_html) with ‘yourdomain.com’”
-
This ensures your subdomain files will be stored in a separate folder.

The system will automatically suggest a folder name where your subdomain's files will be saved.
