How to configure subdomains in cPanel
This article describes how to add, redirect, and delete subdomains using cPanel.
About subdomains
A subdomain is a domain that is part of a larger domain, based upon a prefix name that you choose. For example, the example.com domain might have a subdomain for the support department that directs visitors to a separate area of the website. If the subdomain prefix is supported, then the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) is support.example.com.
You can use subdomains whenever you want to create separate areas on your website that are accessible using different FQDNs.

1-In the DOMAINS section of the cPanel home screen, click Subdomains:
