Creating a Subdomain

I use a hosting service that uses cpanel. I love it. It is the easiest thing to manage. Especially if you have multiple sites. Here’s the basic steps when creating a new subdomain.

Create a subdomain first newwebsite.yourdomain.com.
Change the nameservers for the domain www.newwebsite.com to the same as the domain yourdomain.com. You can change the nameservers via your Go-Daddy (or whoever you use) account. After you have changed the nameservers, it will take a period of 24-48 hrs for this info to propagate over the internet.

After this, login to Cpanel and go to the Add-on Domain section in Cpanel. domain name: newwebsite.com username/subdomain: newwebsite.yourdomain.com Password: make sure you write it down. Fill in the details and click on Add. Now the addon-domain will be created. And when you go to www.newwebsite.com, you will be taken to newwebsite.yourdomain.com.
