# How to create a Subdomain in HestiaCP?

### Creating a Subdomain <a href="#creacion-de-un-subdominio" id="creacion-de-un-subdominio"></a>

A **Subdomain** is a subdivision of a website, within the same domain. Subdomains are typically used to divide functions of a complex website.

For example, mydomain.com might display a main website with product offerings, while shop.mydomain.com will show the shopping cart for processing an order.

Follow these steps to create a **Subdomain**:

1. Within the hosting account where you want to add a subdomain, go to the **WEB** section.
2. Then, click on the **Add Web Domain** button.

3. Enter the subdomain you want the account to have.
4. Check the **DNS Support** option.\
   The **Mail Support** checkbox will allow you to create email accounts with the new subdomain. Its activation is optional.
5. Finally, save the new subdomain by clicking **Save**.

Returning to the main account screen, in the **WEB** section, you will see the new subdomain.

1. You can edit the subdomain using the **pencil icon**, for example, to enable an **SSL certificate**.
2. You can also access the **File Manager** to upload the necessary content.
