️ How to Create a Subdomain​

The process varies depending on your hosting provider or domain registrar. Here's a general guide:

1. Access Your DNS Settings: Log in to your domain registrar (like Namecheap or GoDaddy) and navigate to the DNS management section.Teachable
2. Add a New Record: Choose to add a new DNS record. You'll typically select either an A record or a CNAME record:
   • A Record: Points the subdomain to an IP address.
   • CNAME Record: Points the subdomain to another domain name.
3. Enter Subdomain Details: Specify the subdomain name (e.g., "blog") and the destination it should point to.
4. Save Changes: After entering the details, save your changes. It may take some time for the DNS changes to propagate. Namecheap+1Teachable+1
