I did it before on DirectAdmin, but can it be setup up on cPanel?

Hello,

Yes, you can create accounts for sub-domains (e.g. support.YourDomain.com) in WHM.

1. Create the sub-domain account in WHM

2. Create a sub-domain in the domain's zone file with the 'A' record pointing to the Server IP, e.g.

support.yourdomain.com. IN A xxx.xxx.xx.x

where xxx.xxx.xx.x is the server IP address of your hosting account.

Where to edit the domain's zone file?

I can only find the related option that show at attachment

Hello,

Login your domain control panel and add a new 'A' record for the sub-domain.

if the domain is hosted on same server, you need not do anything else... just create a new acount in whm with domain as new.existingdomain.com and it works

I had follow steps of AnyDemo and succeed to create the account.

Reply to domainwala,
Does it mean I can skip the step to create the A record?


Thanks

Yes, I have tried and it works as WHM automatically creates a zone file..

Hello,

By the time I started doing domain and hosting, there was no such powerful control panel. You must login the domain zone file and server configuration file to do everything. Therefore I still follow the traditional way :) :)

By creating a new account in WHM, the zone file should be created automatically.

I've just try it, the step to edit the dns zone is not required.
I able to access the subdomain after I create an account on WHM with that subdomain and no edit dns zone.

Thanks for all guys:D

You just create a new account on whm and on the domain field use the subdomain you want the dns will be automatically created wait for some few moments to propagate then goto subdomain.domain.com/cpanel to enjoy it.

hope it helps
