Once logged in you\u2019ll be at the homepage of your control panel. The easiest way to navigate the panel is using the search feature in the top right panel. Click the <strong>Search box<\/strong>  and type \u201csubdomains\u201d (without the quotes). As you type, the cPanel  page will begin to narrow down results, and soon the only visible option  will be&nbsp;<strong>Subdomains<\/strong>. Click the <strong>Subdomains<\/strong> button to continue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"449\" src=\"http:\/\/coventry.domains\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Screen-Shot-2019-08-28-at-11.47.57-AM-1-1024x449.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-274\" srcset=\"https:\/\/coventry.domains\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Screen-Shot-2019-08-28-at-11.47.57-AM-1-1024x449.png 1024w, https:\/\/coventry.domains\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Screen-Shot-2019-08-28-at-11.47.57-AM-1-300x131.png 300w, https:\/\/coventry.domains\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Screen-Shot-2019-08-28-at-11.47.57-AM-1-768x337.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Choose a name for your subdomain and type it into the <strong>Subdomain<\/strong> box.

This will create a folder to contain your subdomain\u2019s files. You\u2019ll usually want this folder to match the name of your subdomain, so it\u2019s easy to identify where different files live in your account. You might want to change the document root if you already have a  folder in your account that has the same name as the subdomain you are  trying to create, although this should be rare. Once you\u2019re done, click <strong>Create<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"457\" src=\"http:\/\/coventry.domains\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Screen-Shot-2019-08-28-at-11.49.03-AM-copy-1024x457.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-276\" srcset=\"https:\/\/coventry.domains\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Screen-Shot-2019-08-28-at-11.49.03-AM-copy-1024x457.png 1024w, https:\/\/coventry.domains\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Screen-Shot-2019-08-28-at-11.49.03-AM-copy-300x134.png 300w, https:\/\/coventry.domains\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Screen-Shot-2019-08-28-at-11.49.03-AM-copy-768x342.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once you\u2019re done, click the &#8216;Create&#8217; button. If everything went well, you should see a message that your subdomain was created successfully. Your subdomain will now be available as an option for automatic installation of various software (WordPress, MediaWiki, etc). If you prefer to install web applications manually, you can do so in the document root (folder) you created for this new subdomain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-background
