How to Create the Subdomain and Addon Domain in cPanel

Byadmin

cPanel allows you to host and manage multiple websites and subdomains from a single hosting account. You can create a subdomain for a separate section of your existing website or add an addon domain to host a completely different website.

In newer versions of cPanel, both subdomains and addon domains are generally managed through the Domains interface.

In this guide, we’ll explain how to create a subdomain and addon domain in cPanel step by step.

What Is a Subdomain?
  1. A subdomain is an extension of your main domain.
  2. For example, if your main domain is: example.com
  3. You can create subdomains such as:
  • blog.example.com
  • shop.example.com
  • support.example.com

Subdomains are useful when you want to create separate sections or applications under your main domain.
