The cPanel “Domains” tab: Set up Subdomains, Addon Domains, Redirects and more

Subdomains: You want to set up a support forum for your customers or a frequently asked questions section, but you want the URL to be more than just yourwebsite.com/support? Subdomains are an easy way to achieve a professional look of important parts of your website. To add a subdomain, choose a descriptive word as the prefix, like “support” and enter it to the provided text field. You will then have to insert the URL to which the subdomain links, like yourwebsite.com/support. You can then access the support page via the URL support.yourwebsite.com.

Addon Domains: Once you created a subdomain, you can allow visitors to reach this domain by addressing the addon domain in the address bar. This is possible only if allowed by your hosting provider. Check the video tutorial in the cPanel for more information.

Parked Domains: So now your site can be reached for example by bestproductintheusa.com – but your product is also the best in europe? Add the domain bestproductineurope.com as a parked domain and once it points to your dns (and is registered for you of course) visitors can from now on reach you via both addresses. Video tutorial available!

Redirects: You want to link to another website or advertise for something, but how do you expect the visitors to remember the URL of the page when you cannot even remember it yourself because it is too long or complicated? By creating a redirect everyone can enter the desired website without remembering its URL easily via your specified URL. Video tutorial is also available on this topic.
