Subdomains in StackCP #

To create a subdomain, follow these steps:

  1. Log in to StackCP.
  2. Go to Manage Hosting -> Manage.
  3. Select the Subdomains icon.
  4. Enter your desired subdomain in the Subdomain field and click Create Subdomain.
  5. You can also change the Document Root to direct the subdomain to the folder of your choosing.

What is the Document Root? #

The document root is the folder that the subdomain will use. For example, you may have a directory within your web space located within public_html called support (i.e., public_html/support). You can point your subdomain to this location by entering public_html/support in the Document Root field.

Note: Updating a document root can take approximately 15 minutes, so please be patient while it updates.
