You can set any of your subdomains to point to a different location on your web site or server. For example, if we want support.cpx3demo.com to point to our sales page, we can setup a subdomain redirection and have it point to www.cpx3demo.com/sales.html or any url that’s specific to our needs.

Managing Subdomain Redirection

Steps

1. Assuming you have created a subdomain, view the “Subdomains” table as described in Step 5 of the Subdomains document.
2. Find the subdomain you want to manage (setup) a redirection for in the table.
3. Click on the Manage Redirection link in the Actions column.
4. The subdomain you are using will be listed. You will see “http://” entered by default in the text box. Enter the domain or location you want the subdomain to be redirected to when visitors go to the subdomain you are using.

NOTE: You do not have to include the “http://” in your redirection url.

5. Click on the Save button.
6. The next page will state “YOUR_SUBDOMAIN is currently being redirect to: THE_LOCATION_YOU_ENTERED.”
7. Click on the Go Back button.
8. When the page loads, find the subdomain you are using and you should see “redirected to THE_LOCATION_YOU_ENTERED” displayed in the “Redirection” column.

Disable Subdomain

Steps

1. Assuming you have created a subdomain, view the “Subdomains” table as described in Step 6 of the Subdomains document.
2. Find the Subdomain you want to manage (setup) a redirection for in the table.
3. Click on the Manage Redirection link in the Actions column.
4. The redirect you previously created the Subdomain should be entered by default in the text box. Click on the Disable Redirection button.
5. The next screen will state “Redirection has been disabled on “YOUR_SUBDOMAIN!”
6. Click on the Go Back link to view details on your SubDomain.

A subdomain is a domain using your main domain and a prefix name. As an example, let’s say our main domain is cpx3demo.com. We want to create a domain for our support department and direct visitors to a separate area on our web site. Our subdomain would use “support” as the prefix and “cpx3demo.com” as the main domain. The example of putting these two together are shown below:

EXAMPLE: support.cpx3demo.com

Consider a subdomain a url for any area on your web site. You can create the prefix as any name you want based on your own personal preferences.

Creating A Subdomain

Steps

1. Enter the prefix you want to use for the subdomain in the “Subdomain” text box. Based on our example above (support.cpx3demo.com), we would enter “support” as the “Subdomain” prefix.
2. Once you place your cursor in the “Document Root” text box, it will automatically fill in the location of your subdomain. cPanel will use the prefix you chose in Step 1 above and add it to the root path, ie. “public_html/PREFIX” or in our example, it would be “public_html/support.”If you want to specify a particular location other than what cPanel automatically enters for you, modify the path according to your specific needs.
3. Once you have completed the above, click on the Create button.
4. The next screen will indicate if your subdomain was created successfully. Click on the Go Back button to return to the previous page.
5. When the page loads, you will see a table with your newly created subdomain containing the following information, split into five columns:
   • Subdomains - This entry will be the “Prefix” you chose in Step 1 above.
   • Root Domain - This entry will be the domain used when creating your subdomain.
   • Document Root - This entry will be the “Document Root” path created in Step 2 above.
   • Redirection - If you have setup a redirection on the subdomain you are viewing, the “Redirection” column will state “redirected to PATH YOU ENTERED.” To learn how to setup redirection on your subdomain, view the Manage (Setup) Subdomain Redirection document.
   • Actions - You have two choices:
     • Manage Redirection - Click on this option to manage the redirection for the subdomain.
     • Remove - Click on this option to remove the subdomain from the system completely.

Using Web Disk

Overview

The Web Disk allows you to easily drag and drop files to your hosting account. You can create a Web Disk login and access your Web Disk below. Once your Web Disk is configured, you can then drag and drop files to it just like they are part of your home computer. You can also navigate through the files in your hosting account just as you do the files on your local computer. Web disks are relative to your account’s home directory. The “house” icon signifies your home directory.

By default, your cPanel account username will have a Web Disk login account already created. The default login gives you access to all directories in your web hosting account. To skip over how to create a web disk account, click on the Access Web Disk button in the “Access Web Disk” column. It should be the only entry in the “Web Disk Account Management” table shown at the bottom of the page. Also, you may want to read the Accessing and Using Web Disk section below.

• Once you place your cursor in the “Directory” text box, the system will automatically fill in the path to a directory using the “public_html” directory and the username you entered in Step 1 above. You can modify the directory path and name according to your own specific needs. However, if this is your first time using Web Disk, you may want to leave it as default until you are comfortable using the Web Disk feature in cPanel.
• Click on the Create button.
• You will see the following statement:
  • “ACCOUNT_LOGIN has been given Web Disk access.”
• Click on the Go Back link.
• When the page loads, you will see a four-column table consisting of the following information:

    • Change Password - Click on the Change Password link to modify and change the password for the associated Web Disk login account.
    • Delete - Click on the Delete link to remove the Web Disk login account from the system.

Accessing and Using Web Disk

• When the page loads, select the operating system you are using to view Web Disk from one of the available drop down menus.

• Then click on the Go button.
• Follow the on-screen instructions for accessing Web Disk based on the operation system you chose in Step 1 above. Each operating system has its own set of instructions for accessing Web Disk.
