Setup a Subdomain with eXtend Control Panel

If you are using our standard eXtend hosting packages, you can easily setup a subdomain on your webhosting using the eXtend Control Panel. This will allow you to set up different website or webapps on teh same hosting account

For example:
<ul>
<li>www.wtddemo.co.uk - Your main website and accessible using the www.</li>
<li>intranet.wtddemo.co.uk - A custom web application accessible with a different subdomain.</li>
</ul>

<h3>Step 1 - Sign into your Watch the Dot Hosting Account</h3>
For instruction on how to do that, <a href="https://www.watchthedot.com/2017/07/10/login-web-hosting-account/">see this guide</a>

<h3>Step 2 - Navigate to Web Tools</h3>
You can expand or collapse sections within your control panel using the +/- signs at the top of each section

<h3>Step 3 - Configure your subdomain</h3>

<ol>
<li>Type in your subdomain</li>
<li>Enter the directory where you want the additional website to reside. This will be beneath the public_html directory</ul>
</ol>
