How to create a subdomain in cPanel

A subdomain is a part of a larger domain name. It is used to organise and separate different sections or functionalities of a website. In a domain hierarchy, a subdomain is created by adding a prefix to the main domain name, separated by a dot. For example, "blog.yourdomain.com" is a subdomain of the main domain "yourdomain.com."
