How to Set Up a Subdomain in cPanel

 Learn how to create and manage subdomains in cPanel with Tenovate. Use subdomains to organize your website content efficiently.

What is a Subdomain?

A subdomain is a division of your main domain, allowing you to create separate sections of your website. For example:
blog.yourdomain.tz – A separate section for blogs.
shop.yourdomain.tz – An eCommerce store under your main website.
support.yourdomain.tz – A helpdesk or customer support portal.

Why Use a Subdomain?

✔ Organizes website sections without buying a new domain.
✔ Improves SEO by targeting different audiences.
✔ Helps manage projects like blogs, eCommerce, or support pages separately.

How to Create a Subdomain in cPanel

Step 1: Log in to cPanel

Step 2: Create a New Subdomain

  • Enter a subdomain name (e.g., blog for blog.yourdomain.tz).
  • Select your main domain from the dropdown list.
  • Set the Document Root (default: /public_html/blog).
  • Click Create to add the subdomain.

Step 3: Upload Website Files to the Subdomain

  • Open File Manager in cPanel.
  • Navigate to the subdomain folder (/public_html/blog).
  • Upload your website files or install WordPress using Softaculous.

Step 4: Access Your Subdomain

  • Open blog.yourdomain.tz in a browser to see the changes.
  • If the subdomain does not load, wait for DNS propagation (2-24 hours).

How to Delete a Subdomain

  • In cPanel > Subdomains, find the subdomain you want to remove.
