- Log In to Your cPanel Account

3.1. Click on “Create a New Domain”: Find and click the “Create a new domain” button to start setting up a new subdomain. - Provide Subdomain Details
- Domain: Enter the name of the subdomain, including the associated primary domain at the end. For example, if your main domain is domainexampleone.com and you want to create a subdomain called subdomain, you would enter subdomain.domainexampleone.com.
- Document Root: Specify the document root, which is the root directory for the subdomain where you will upload the website files.
Important Note:
Share Document Root Option: Check the option “Share document root…".
Uncheck the option “Share document root…” if you want the subdomain to have a different website than the main domain.
This ensures the subdomain's website is separate from the main domain's site. - Finalize Subdomain Creation
