To create a subdomain in the DirectAdmin control panel, follow these steps:

Step 1: Login to DirectAdmin: Access your DirectAdmin panel using your username and password.

Step 2: Navigate to Subdomain Management: Once logged in, find and click on the "Subdomain Management" or "Subdomains" option. This might be located under the "Domain Management" section.

Step 3: Create Subdomain: Click on the option to add a new subdomain. This could be a button like "Add Subdomain," "Create Subdomain," or something similar.

Step 4: Enter Subdomain Details: In the provided fields, enter the subdomain name you want to create. For example, if you want to create "blog.example.com," enter "blog" in the subdomain field.

Choose the main domain under which you want to create the subdomain. This will typically be a dropdown list of domains associated with your account.

Step 5: Configure Subdomain Settings: Some settings might be available for customization, such as selecting a document root directory for the subdomain's files. You can also choose whether the subdomain will have its own FTP account or share the main domain's FTP account.

Step 6: Save or Create the Subdomain: After entering the required details and making any desired configurations, click the "Create" or "Save" button to create the subdomain.

Step 7: DNS Propagation: After creating the subdomain, the DNS records need to propagate. This process might take some time, usually a few hours to a day, depending on various factors.

Step 8: Test the Subdomain: Once the DNS propagation is complete, you can access your subdomain through a web browser. For example, if you created "blog.example.com," enter that URL in your browser to ensure that the subdomain is working as expected.

Remember that the exact steps and options might vary slightly based on the version of DirectAdmin you are using. If you're uncertain about any step, it's recommended to contact our hosting provider's support for assistance.
