Subdomains let you create memorable addresses and easy ways to access areas of your website.

There are a few things to know about using subdomains:

  • A subdomain must be a subdomain of another domain name on your Linux Hosting account - for example, if you've got "coolexample.com", you can add "pics.coolexample.com".
  • Subdomain website files are stored in a different directory than the main domain website files.
  1. Go to your MaticHosting product page.
  2. Select the Linux Hosting account you want to use, click View Details.
  3. In the account Dashboard, click cPanel Admin
  4. In the cPanel Home page, in the Domains section, click Subdomains.
  5. In the cPanel Subdomains page, enter just the Subdomain name - for example pics.
  6. Make sure the main Domain is selected.
  7. Leave the Document Root set to the default. This keeps the subdomain files in a separate directory from the main domain files.
  8. Click Create. cPanel creates the subdomain and it appears in the Modify a Subdomain list.
