In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of creating a subdomain in Hostinger. A subdomain is a way to create a separate section of your website with its own unique URL. It can be useful for organizing your content, creating separate sections for different purposes, or even hosting a completely different website.
Here are the steps to create a subdomain in Hostinger:
1. Log in to your Hostinger account:
– Go to the Hostinger website and click on the “Login” button.
– Enter your credentials (email and password) and click “Login”.
2. Access the “Subdomains” section:
– Once you are logged in, you will be redirected to the Hostinger dashboard.
– In the dashboard, find and click on the “Subdomains” icon. It is usually located under the “Website Manage Dashboard” section.
3. Add a new subdomain:
– In the “Subdomains” section, you will see a list of your existing subdomains (if any).
– To add a new subdomain, click on the “Add New” button or a similar option.
4. Enter the subdomain details:
– In the “Subdomain” field, enter the desired name for your subdomain. For example, if you want to create a subdomain called “blog” for your main domain “example.com”, enter “blog” in the subdomain field.
– Select the main domain from the drop-down menu. If you have multiple domains associated with your Hostinger account, choose the one you want to create the subdomain for.
5. Configure the subdomain settings:
– Hostinger provides some additional settings for your subdomain, such as document root and PHP version. Unless you have specific requirements, you can leave these settings as they are.
– Click on the “Create” or “Add” button to save the subdomain.
6. Wait for DNS propagation:
– After creating the subdomain, it may take some time for the changes to propagate across the internet. This process is called DNS propagation.
– Typically, DNS propagation takes a few minutes to a few hours, but it can sometimes take up to 24-48 hours. During this time, your subdomain may not be accessible.
7. Test your subdomain:
– Once the DNS propagation is complete, you can test your subdomain by entering the subdomain URL in a web browser.
– For example, if your main domain is “example.com” and you created a subdomain called “blog“, the URL for your subdomain would be “blog.example.com”.
– If everything is set up correctly, you should see your subdomain’s landing page or the content you have associated with it.
That’s it! You have successfully created a subdomain in Hostinger. You can now use this subdomain to host a separate section of your website or even a completely different website.
Remember, managing subdomains is an essential part of website organization and customization. By creating subdomains, you can enhance the user experience and make it easier for visitors to navigate your website.
If you ever need to make changes to your subdomain or delete it, you can easily do so by accessing the “Subdomains” section in your Hostinger account.
