# How To Setup A Subdomain

A subdomain is a subsection of your website that can exist as a new website without a new domain name. Use subdomains to create memorable URLs for different content areas of your site.

*For example, you can create a subdomain for your blog that is accessible through blog.example.com and www.example.com/blog*

In this tutorial, we’ll show you **how to setup a subdomain**.

1. Login to your [Binarilink Cloud Console](https://console.cloud.binarilink.com/login)

2. Access cPanel

3. Once in cPanel, **scroll down** under Domains and click**Subdomains**.

4. On the Subdomains page, simply **give the subdomain a name**, **select the domain** (if you have multiple domain or addon domain), and **define the Document Root folder**.

For this example, we’re going to call our subdomain **blog**, so, we will select the Domain xeronhost.com and leave the Document Root folder the default public_html/blog. After this is done, click **Create**.

5. The subdomain is now set up and can be viewed at blog.xeronhost.com.

Additionally, a directory with the subdomain folder has been created where you put the Document Root folder. Ours is in public_html.
