# How to Create a Subdomain in cPanel

**In short:** To create a subdomain (such as blog.yourdomain.com) in cPanel: in current versions go to Domains, then Create A New Domain, enter the full subdomain, set its folder (Document Root) and click Submit. In older versions go to Domains, then Subdomains, enter the name and click Create.

A subdomain is an address for a separate part of your website that uses your main domain with a prefix. For example, if domain.com is your main domain, blog.domain.com is a subdomain. It can host a separate site, such as a blog or a store.

## Current cPanel versions

**1.** Log in to cPanel (see [how to log in to cPanel](https://www.hyyat.com/en/knowledgebase/how-to-log-in-to-cpanel/)).

**2.** In the **Domains** section, click **Domains**, then **Create A New Domain**.

**3.** Enter the full subdomain (for example blog.yourdomain.com). Untick **Share document root** if you want a separate folder, and check the **Document Root** folder. Click **Submit**.

## Older cPanel versions

**1.** In the **Domains** section, click **Subdomains**.
