How to create and use Sub Domains at cPanel?

Subdomains are URLs for different sections of your website. They use your main domain name and a prefix. For example, if your domain is domain.com a sub-domain of your domain might be subdomain.domain.com.

Subdomains are relative to your account's home directory. The icon signifies your home directory which is /home/your-cpanel-user.

How to create Sub Domain?
Click Sub Domains icon at Domains Tab, see this picture

And enter your new name for domain at Subdomain field, also destination or path your subdomain directory, then click Create.
It is important to remember that it takes time for the subdomain to become recognized by other computers on the web. Visitors will not be able to view your subdomain immediately; the process takes anywhere from 2 days to a week.

Subdomains can be useful for creating unique user accounts for “vanity domains.” This is helpful if, for example, you have a blog, or any other type of website that uses a domain specifically titled for a user.
