How to create a subdomain in cPanel?:

Note: A subdomain is a subset of a larger domain in the Domain Name System (DNS) hierarchy. In simpler terms, it's a part of a main domain.

For example, in the domain "example.com," "subdomain.example.com" is a subdomain. Subdomains are often used to organize and navigate different sections or functionalities of a website. They are created by adding a prefix to the main domain name, separated by a dot. Subdomains can have their unique content and may be used for various purposes like hosting specific services, creating separate sections of a website, or directing traffic to different servers.
