What is a subdomain?

A subdomain is a subsection of a main domain, in this format:

  •  subdomain.myinterestingwebsite.com.au
Sub domains allow you to create completely separate websites with human-readable names without having to register multiple domain names.
 
For instance, a main website may be called myinterestingwebsite.com.au, but a subdomain may be forums.myinterestingwebsite.com.au.


Note: Your control panel may look slightly different depending on the theme you are using, however the steps will be the same for all themes based off of the X3 theme.

To create a subdomain, please do the following:

  1. Login to cPanel and click Subdomains.
  2. In the drop-down, choose the domain.
  3. In the box before the domain, type the subdomain name you want.
  4. Click inside the "Document Root" box and it will auto-fill.
  5. Hit the Create button.

To delete a subdomain, please do the following:
  1. Login to cPanel and click Subdomains.
  2. At the bottom, under Actions, click Remove.
