How to Create a Subdomain in the cPanel

As of cPanel version 106, the "Subdomains" section has been removed, and subdomain management has been merged into the Domains section. Below is a step-by-step guide on how to create and manage a subdomain using the updated cPanel interface.

Steps to Create a Subdomain:

1. Log In to cPanel:

   • Use your hosting credentials to log in at yourdomain.com/cpanel.

2. Access the Domains Section:

   • Once logged in, navigate to the Domains section by scrolling down or using the search bar.
   • Click on Domains to access the domain management interface.

3. Create a New Domain:

   • Click the Create A New Domain button located within the Domains section.

4. Enter Subdomain Information:

   • In the Domain field, type in the name of your subdomain (e.g., subdomain.yourdomain.com).
   • Deselect the "Share document root with domain.tld" option if you want the subdomain to have its own directory.
   • Choose the desired document root or allow cPanel to automatically generate one.

5. Submit the Subdomain:

   • After filling in the details, click Submit. It may take a few minutes for the DNS to propagate, but your subdomain will be live soon after.

6. Managing Your Subdomain:

   • Once created, you can manage the subdomain (such as adding email addresses or redirects) through the same Domains section.

Additional Notes:

• This new setup consolidates domain, subdomain, and alias management into a single interface, making it easier to manage all your domains in one place.
• DNS propagation may take anywhere from a few minutes to a couple of hours.
