DirectAdmin, the powerful control panel provided by your hosting company, facilitates the management of your websites. In this guide, we will walk through the process of creating a subdomain in DirectAdmin. Subdomains are custom sub-areas beneath the main domain and are often utilized to redirect to different content or services.

Step 1: Log In to DirectAdmin

Access your DirectAdmin control panel using the login credentials provided by your hosting company.

Step 2: Navigate to the "Domain Setup" Tab

Locate and click on the tab labeled "Domain Setup" or a similar name, either on the homepage or in the main menu.

Step 3: Find the "Add Subdomain" Option

Within the "Domain Setup" page, there should be an option like "Add Subdomain" or "Create Subdomain." Locate and click on this option.

Step 4: Enter Subdomain Details

In the new window, input the necessary information for the subdomain you wish to create. This typically includes:

• Subdomain Name: Enter the desired name for your subdomain (e.g., "blog").
• Main Domain: Choose under which main domain the subdomain will be created.
• Path: Optionally, specify a directory for the subdomain (e.g., "/blog").

Step 5: Click "Create"

After correctly entering the information, click the "Create" button.

Step 6: Confirm the Success Message

Upon successful creation, you will receive a confirmation message. At this point, you can use a web browser to check if your new subdomain is functioning correctly.

Conclusion:

You can now effortlessly create subdomains through the DirectAdmin control panel. Utilize your new subdomain to publish custom content or redirect to different services. Keep in mind that every hosting provider may vary, so there might be slight differences in the interface.
