How do I add a new Subdomain in cPanel?

If you’d like to add a new subdomain to your existing domain, you can easily do so within the "Domains" section of cPanel. Subdomains allow you to manage different sections of your website independently and can feature unique content. For example, you might create a subdomain like blog.exampledomain.co.za to host a separate blog instead of using exampledomain.co.za/blog

To add a new subdomain in cPanel, follow these steps:


Log into your cPanel account.
In the Domains section, click on Domains.
Click Create a New Domain.
Enter the desired subdomain name in the Domain field.
Click Submit.

Your new subdomain will now be available, and you can begin uploading your website files to the corresponding directory.

The domain must utilise our name servers; otherwise, you will need to add the DNS record manually (e.g., via Cloudflare).

To learn more about the different types of domains, please refer to the article: What is the difference between Primary, Alias (Parked), Addon, and Subdomains?
