How to Create Subdomains in cPanel

Create subdomains on Ceyora web hosting in Sri Lanka — set up shop.yourdomain.lk, blog.yourdomain.lk, or staging sites in cPanel.

A subdomain lets you run a separate section of your website — such as blog.yourdomain.lk or shop.yourdomain.lk — on your existing Ceyora hosting account.

Create a subdomain
  1. Log in to cPanel
  2. Open Domains → Subdomains (or Subdomains under Domains section)
  3. Enter the subdomain prefix (e.g. blog)
  4. Select the parent domain
  5. Confirm the document root folder (auto-created)
  6. Click Create
After creating the subdomain
  • Upload files to the subdomain's document root folder
  • Install WordPress or another app via Softaculous on the subdomain
  • SSL is usually auto-issued for subdomains when AutoSSL runs
  • DNS for subdomains on Ceyora nameservers is configured automatically
Common uses

Staging environments, client portals, online stores, landing pages, and multilingual site sections.
