Step 1: Log In to Your Account
-
Sign in to your user account.
Step 2: Access Your Domain Settings
-
Go to Domains > My Domains.
-
Click on the domain you want to modify to open its settings page.
Step 3: Open DNS Settings
-
Click the DNS Settings tab.
-
Make sure Use OnlyDomains Name Servers is selected.
-
If your domain uses different name servers, you’ll need to make DNS changes with your current provider.
-
Step 4: Add Your Subdomain DNS Record
-
Click Edit Zone Records.
-
Add a new DNS record where the Host field is your desired subdomain (for example, use “blog” for blog.yourdomain.com).
-
The Type (A, CNAME, etc.) and Value will depend on your hosting provider’s instructions.
-
If you’re unsure which record to use or what value to enter, contact your hosting provider for the correct details.
-
Important Tips:
-
If your domain is pointed to our name servers and you use cPanel hosting, creating a subdomain in cPanel will automatically set up the necessary DNS records. No manual DNS changes are needed in this case.
-
For domains using external name servers, you must add the subdomain record (usually an A record pointing to your hosting IP) with your current DNS provider.
-
DNS changes can take up to 24–48 hours to fully propagate and become active online.
-
Organize your subdomain’s files in a separate directory for better management and security.
