Subdomains


The Sub Domain Maintenance menu allows you to add and remove subdomains. Subdomains allow you to access different directories by using a domain name which you do not have to register. For example, if you want to access forums on your site, you can create forums.domain.com and link it to the directory that your forums are in. Any current subdomains will be listed under Current Sub-Domains.

Steps 1. To access the Sub Domain Maintenance menu, click on the icon above the word Subdomains on the main screen of your cPanel interface.

2. Enter the prefix for the subdomain in the first blank field, and click Add.

3. Click on Go Back.

4. To make the subdomain work, select it from the drop box next to Setup Redirection and click on Setup Redirection.

5. Enter the URL which you wish the subdomain to display in the blank field, and click on Save. NOTE: If the subdomain was redirected properly, the following will appear (except sub.domain.com will be your subdomain, and http://www.domain.com/test.html will be the URL you have selected your subdomain to display)
