How to Create an Addon Domain in SiteGround (using cPanel)

In this article, I’m going to walk you through How to Create an Addon Domain in SiteGround.

Before proceeding with the tutorial let me explain to you the importance of subdomain.

What is SubDomain & its Uses:

A subdomain is the part of the main domain. For example, my main domain is discountcage.com  then the subdomain can be either blog.discountcage.com or discountcage.com/blog.

You can create any number of subdomains on Siteground depending upon the plan selected.

Here are the couple of reasons to have a subdomain for your website.

Let’s say you have an e-commerce website and you want to attach a blog to it then you can create a blog subdomain where the URL for that blog would be blog/yourdomain.com

Another reason might be if you have an image-heavy website you can store all of your images in a images subdomain So anytime an image needs to be called for your website it would be called from the images.mydomain.com URL. Doing this helps with speeding up your website. Your images would all be called from a separate URL from your main domain name and search engines really like websites that load fast so anything that you can do to help it load faster the better.

How to add a Subdomain on Siteground:

Step 1: Login to your Siteground Hosting Cpanel and click on My Accounts.

Step 2: Now click on Go to Cpanel button as seen on the screenshot and click on proceed.

Step 3: Click on Subdomains option as shown in below image.

Step 4: Enter your subdomain below according to your requirement.

Here in this tutorial, I am adding blog as a subdomain. and click on Create button.

You will get a success message upon creation.

That’s it!

You’ve successfully created a subdomain on Siteground Hosting.
