How To Setup A Subdomain Print

  • 0

A subdomain is a subsection of your website that can exist as a new website without a new domain name. Use subdomains to create memorable URLs for different content areas of your site.

For example, you can create a subdomain for your blog that is accessible through blog.yourwebsite.com.

The following steps will show you how to setup a subdomain.

1) Login to your Bragghost account

2) Access cPanel

3) Once in cPanel, scroll down under Domains and click Domains.

4) On the Domains page, enter the complete subdomain and root domain (ie. subdomain.yourwebsite.com) and define the Document Root folder. Under "Document Root (File System Location)," make sure the box next to "share document root" is unchecked. For this example, we’re going to call ours blog.deltabbqplace.com. After this is done, click Submit.

5) The subdomain is now setup and can be viewed blog.deltabbqplace.com.

Additionally, a directory with the subdomain folder has been created where you put the Document Root folder. Ours has it's own root directory at blog.deltabbqplace.com. This can be viewed via File Manager or FTP.
