Step-by-step: creating a subdomain in cPanel
The click path in current cPanel, step by step:
- Open cPanel → Domains → Create A New Domain.
- Enter the subdomain — blog.yourbrand.in — and let cPanel auto-fill the document root (public_html/blog by default).
- Keep 'Share document root' unchecked so the subdomain gets its own folder.
- Submit; cPanel creates the folder and the DNS record together.
- Wait for DNS (usually minutes) and load the subdomain to see the empty directory listing or placeholder.
Use cases that pattern serves: blog.yourbrand.in for content, shop.yourbrand.in for a store, staging.yourbrand.in for test builds. SSL follows automatically via AutoSSL once the subdomain resolves — see cPanel hosting — and installing WordPress on it repeats the main-domain flow exactly.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I create a subdomain in cPanel?
Linux shared and WordPress plans use cPanel. Windows plans use Plesk. The panel login is separate from the client area where you pay invoices and open tickets. If you need a specific panel on a VPS, say so in the quote request to support@webji.services — it is not assumed on every unmanaged server.
What should the document root for a subdomain be?
On shared plans it is pre-configured; on custom-quoted tiers you choose the values, and our Jaipur desk sizes them against your actual traffic before you commit.
How long does a new subdomain take to work?
Timing depends on the job named in the question, not on a stock slogan. Email support@webji.services with the deadline and what already exists (domain, content, old host), and the reply gives you a date you can hold the team to.
