Subdomain
This interface allows you to create and manage subdomains for your cPanel account. A subdomain is a subsection of your website that sometimes exists as a subdirectory in your public_html (document root) directory, or may exist as a directory in your account's home directory. Subdomains use a prefix in conjunction with the domain name. For example, if the registered domain name is example.com, the subdomain will be prefix.example.com. You can use subdomains to create unique user accounts for “vanity domains.” This is helpful if, for example, you have a blog, or any other type of website that uses a domain specifically titled for a user.

2. Enter the desired prefix in the Subdomain text box.
