  • 0

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.

Step 6: Confirm the Subdomain Directory

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

  • You can change it if needed.

Step 7: Click on “Submit”

  • After entering all the required details, click the “Submit” button to complete the setup.
