It is possible to create subdomains for a domain. A subdomain can be used for various purposes, such as assisting in building a new website or serving as the foundation for an e-commerce platform. Below is a quick guide on how to create a subdomain through the cPanel control panel.

1. Log in to the cPanel control panel using the credentials provided in the service activation message.

2. Click on "Domains" and on the next page, select "Create A New Domain".

3. A new window will open where you need to specify the subdomain name and the home folder name. The URL for the subdomain will always be in the format of subdomain.maindomain.tld. Document root name can be, for example, the same as the subdomain.

4. Finally, click "Submit" The subdomain is now added.

5. Configure the DNS settings for the subdomain either through the DNS management interface (credentials can be obtained from customer service) or using the host file. You can find the correct IP address for the redirection in the main view of the control panel.

If you are unsure how to set up the DNS redirection for the subdomain, please contact our customer service for assistance.
