Add subdomain

You can host websites on subdomains using your hosting account by adding the subdomain to your hosting account. An example of a subdomain is subdomain.coolexample.com.

There are a few things to know about using a subdomain on your hosting account:

• To add a subdomain it has to be a subdomain of another domain name on your account.
• Subdomain's websites are stored in a different directory than the domain name it belongs to.

Add a subdomain

1. In cPanel, in the Domains section, click Subdomains.
2. Complete the following fields, and then click Create:

   Field	What to do...
   Subdomain	Enter just the subdomain you want to use; do not enter the domain name itself.
   Domain	Select the domain name you want to use.
   Document root	This field automatically populates with a recommended directory, but you can enter a different directory if you want.

Next step

• If your domain name is not in the same HostingDude.com account as your hosting, you need to find your account's IP address and then add a subdomain to your domain name that points to it.
• Upload the subdomain website files to the Document root you selected
