To manage your hosting account subdomains, go to the Domain Management page in the Settings section of the Hosting Control Center.
A subdomain is an easy way to create a memorable Web address for unique content areas of your site. For example, you could create a subdomain for pictures on your site called "pics" that is accessible through the URL pics.example.com in addition to www.example.com/pics.
NOTE: This process differs for Linux shared hosting accounts running Hosting Configuration 1.0. If you do not know which configuration your hosting account runs, see How can I find what hosting configuration my account is running?.
