How to Create a Subdomain in cPanel

25 Apr 2026 Β· 3 min read Β· DelhiHosting Team

A subdomain β€” like blog.yoursite.com or shop.yoursite.com β€” is a distinct section of your domain. cPanel creates one in seconds.

When to use a subdomain

Subdomains suit a blog, shop, help centre or staging copy that you want to keep separate from your main site but under the same brand. They’re free and don’t need a new domain registration.

Create it

Open Subdomains, type the prefix (such as "blog"), pick the domain, and create it. cPanel makes a folder for the subdomain automatically, ready for you to upload content or install an application.

Point things at it

The subdomain works immediately on your account. Upload its files or install an app into its folder, and add SSL so it loads securely over https like the rest of your site.

Quick tips
  • βœ“Great for blog, shop, help or staging
  • βœ“Created free in the Subdomains tool
  • βœ“Each gets its own folder
  • βœ“Add SSL so it loads over https
Key takeaway

Subdomains create branded sections like blog. or shop. in seconds β€” add content to the new folder and secure it with SSL.
