A subdomain lets you create a separate section of your website using a name such as:
blog.yourdomain.co.nz
or:
shop.yourdomain.co.nz
Log in to cPanel through your WebhostingNZ client area.
If you are unsure how to access cPanel, please follow this guide first:
How to access cPanel from the Client Area
In cPanel, open Domains.
Depending on the cPanel version, older layouts may show a separate Subdomains icon.
Click Create A New Domain.
Enter the subdomain you want to create.
For example:
blog.yourdomain.co.nz
Make sure the document root is set to the folder you want the subdomain to use.
For example:
public_html/blog
Click Submit or Create.
cPanel will create the subdomain and the folder for the website files.
Upload the files for the subdomain into the folder shown as the document root.
For example, if the document root is:
public_html/blog
then upload the subdomain website files into that folder.
If your domain uses WebhostingNZ nameservers, the DNS record for the subdomain is usually created automatically.
If your DNS is managed somewhere else, you may need to create the subdomain DNS record with your DNS provider.
If the subdomain does not work after creating it, please contact support and include:
