I'm a new Reseller and I was wondering how to setup accounts that use a subdomain address from my hosting address?

You should just be able to setup a domain like subdomain.domain.com as you would a normal account just changing the domain name to that of the subdomain

In cPanel, go to this link:

http://yourdomain.com:2082/frontend/x/subdomain/index.html

change yourdomain.com to... (that's obvious)

change /x/ to /yourcpaneltheme/ (although /x/ would work.

Add the subdomain you need. e.g. helpdesk and you have already
http://helpdesk.yourdomain.com

Whatever you upload to /public_html/helpdesk is the contents of your subdomain.

Is this what you need?

If you need a subdomain to point to another IP altogether (http://yourdomain.com is on one server and http://helpdesk.yourdomain.com is on another server), then what I gave you is incorrect.

A2b2 hit the mark, when setting up an account where it says domain: enter, for example, website.yourdomain.com. Which creates an account with a sub domain rather than a standard domain.

Hope that Helps

That's neat! Does it also follow that email then becomes mailaccount@website.yourdomain.com. So if I create acmelimited.host25.com, then their email will become inquiries@acmelimited.host25.com?

Thanks!

yes, the standerd email will be email@acmelimited.host25.com


FYI: dont create acmelimited.host25.com in cPanel if you want it to have its own cPanel account, only create it in WHM

Thanks. I was fairly familiar with the cPanel side of subdomains. I never realized though that I could create the account in WHM itself. I guess never had the need. But know that I know, it is indeed simple and could be useful.
