The Subdomains function in cPanel lets you create a subdomain — a domain with an extra prefix that operates separately from the original domain. You could make a forum for your site (example.com) with an address of “forum.example.com” — or a blog, a test site, or any number of other variants. Read below for instructions on how to make a subdomain in your cPanel Hosting account.
