How to add a new website as a Subdomain
There are a number of ways to add a new domain or site to your account. We have a separate guide that details the differences.
This guide covers how to add a Subdomain
cPanel > DOMAINS
If you'd like to run an additional website using an existing domain you'll need to add it as a Subdomain.
For example, you may run a chain of restaurants and branches in different cites. Your main site is www.restaurant.co.uk and you'd also like cityone.restaurant.co.uk and citytwo.restaurant.co.uk you would add cityone and citytwo as Subdomains of restaurant.co.uk
Subdomains can have their own unique email accounts.
To create a subdomain, click the Domains icon.
Click Create A New Domain
Enter the subdomain exactly as you wish it to be added.
If you wanted to add the subdomain "test" to the domain "example.com", you should type "test.example.com" in the domain field.
You can accept the Document Root folder suggestion, or edit it.
Click the Create button to finish adding your sub-domain.
Ensure you upload your website files to the correct Document Root folder. In this case, it would be /home/subdomain.maindomain.tld/.
Subdomains are treated as separate domains in terms of email handling. This means that you can maintain mailboxes for all of your subdomains entirely independently.
