How to add a subdomain

A subdomain is an extra address that sits in front of your main one, like shop.yourbusiness.com or blog.yourbusiness.com. It’s handy for giving part of your site its own address.

1. Log in to the control panel. (First time? See How do I access my hosting control panel?)
2. Click the website you want to add the subdomain to.
3. When the website dashboard opens, click Domains in the top menu.
4. Click Add domain.
5. Choose Subdomain as the type.
6. Type the subdomain, for example “shop”. We pick a folder for its files automatically, but you can change it.
7. Click Add.

Your new subdomain gets a free SSL certificate automatically. It can take up to 30 minutes to be ready.
