master account "hardware.com", which would be accessed as "timber.hardware.com". A lot of 

larger businesses use subdomains to establish branding and focus on separate product lines, 

because a subdomain creates a separate URL and web presence. However, you do not create 

a new CPanel when you create a subdomain. You still perform most administration functions for 

the subdomain through your master CPanel.  

Practically, a subdomain is a sub folder within the public_http level of your account that has it s 

own cgi bin directory. The "timber" example above creates a new top level folder called timber, 

with a cgi bin sub folder. Upload your files for the subdomain to this location, including a 

separate home file (such as index.htm).  

Currently you can not create email accounts with the subdomain extension. A workaround for 

this is to create an account called "sales timber@hardware.com", or similar.  

To add a subdomain: 

1.  Click on the Subdomains link in the  area.  

Note: You can only successfully create a new subdomain once your DNS number has 

successfully propagated for this account.  

2.  Enter the text for the new subdomain in the field in the "Add subdomain" area. You must 

conform to domain name conventions for the addition to the name.  

3.  Click on the Add button. Click on the Subdomains link to return to the Subdomains 

window to confirm that it has been added. A folder with the same name as the 

subdomain has now been added to your public_html folder, with a cgi bin sub folder.
