The Sub Domain Maintenance menu allows you to add subdomains to your account. This feature is very useful as people can access subdirectories in your site through a simpler domain name than using your domain name and directory names. For example: Instead of accessing http://www.yourdomain.com/users/john/forums, they can access http://jforums.yourdomain.com if you set up a subdomain pointing to the forums directory. 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. NOTE: If the subdomain was added successfully, the following will appear (except sub.domain.com will be the prefix you are using, and your domain): SubDomain Adder The subdomain, sub.domain.com has been added. 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.yourdomain.com/test.html will be the URL you have selected your subdomain to display) : SubDomain Redirection sub.domain.com is currently being redirected to http://www.yourdomain.com/test.html
Make sure the file and directories that you have the subdomain displaying exist.Overview
