A subdomain is a prefix added to your main domain name — for example, blog.yourdomain.com or shop.yourdomain.com. They’re perfect for separating sections of your website, setting up landing pages, or running test environments.
With your Eco Web Hosting account, you can create and manage subdomains easily from within your hosting control panel.
➕ How to Create a Subdomain
-
Log in to your Eco Web Hosting client area
-
Click Manage Hosting next to your domain
-
In the hosting control panel, look for Subdomain Management or Subdomains
-
Enter the name of the subdomain you’d like to create (e.g.
blog) -
Choose the domain it should be linked to (e.g.
yourdomain.com) -
Click Create
Once created, the subdomain will automatically point to a folder inside your website files (usually something like /domains/yourdomain.com/public_html/blog/).
You can now upload a separate site, install WordPress, or place specific files into that folder to power the subdomain.
🔁 Managing an Existing Subdomain
After your subdomain is created, you can:
-
Access its file directory via the File Manager
-
Upload a separate site or content just for the subdomain
-
Install WordPress or other applications into it
-
Set up DNS records (e.g. a separate A record) if needed
-
Remove the subdomain from the same Subdomain Management area
🔧 Subdomains & DNS
If you’re using Eco Web Hosting's nameservers, DNS for your subdomains is handled automatically.
However, if you're managing DNS externally and want to point a subdomain to your hosting account, you’ll need to add an A record with the correct server IP:
Example:
-
Host: blog.yourdomain.com
-
Type: A
-
Value: (your hosting IP address — available in your control panel under "Account Info")
🧪 Common Uses for Subdomains
-
blog.yourdomain.com – A blog separate from your main site
-
shop.yourdomain.com – An online store
-
test.yourdomain.com – A development or staging environment
-
landing.yourdomain.com – A marketing or campaign-specific page
