Setting Up Subdomains and Subdomains with Redirects

Setting up a subdomain will create

Subdomains
Usually a subdomain will forward to a folder of the same name, so if you are setting up a subdomain called sub.register4less.com, on the server, this would direct to register4less.com/sub. The subdomain does not have to go to the same named directory.

To set a subdomain up,

• Log in to manage the domain and open the cPanel (Paid Hosting > Manage Advanced Hosting)
• In the Domains section, click on Subdomains.
• In the Create a Subdomain section, you will be prompted to enter in
  • The name of the subdomain
  • Select the domain for which you are creating this subdomain, and
  • Enter in the destination directory. By default, cPanel will enter in the name of the directory for you.
• Click the blue Create button. cPanel will create the destination directory on the server automatically.

Subdomains with Redirection
Follow the directions above to create the subdomain(s), and then

• Go back to the Domains section on cPanel and
• click Redirects. You will be prompted to
  • Select the type of redirection (301 Permanent or 302 Temporary)
  • Select the subdomain for redirection
  • Enter in the URL to redirect to. It's a good idea to test the URL in your browser to ensure it's working.
  • Choose whether the subdomain will redirect with or without www. in front of it. The default is to redirect with.
