Bluehost is a popular web hosting service that offers users the ability to create subdomains to better organize their websites. Subdomains are essentially extensions of your main domain name that can help you categorize different sections of your site or create separate webpages for specific purposes. In this step-by-step tutorial, we will guide you through the process of creating a subdomain in Bluehost.
### Step 1: Log in to Your Bluehost Account
The first step is to log in to your Bluehost account. Once you are logged in, you will be directed to your account dashboard where you can manage all aspects of your hosting services.
### Step 2: Navigate to the Subdomains Section
In the dashboard, look for the ‘Domains’ tab and click on it. From the dropdown menu, select ‘Subdomains’. This will take you to the subdomains management page where you can create and manage your subdomains.
### Step 3: Create a New Subdomain
On the subdomains management page, you will see a form to create a new subdomain. In the ‘Subdomain’ field, enter the name of the subdomain you want to create. For example, if you want to create a subdomain called ‘blog’ for your main domain ‘example.com’, you would enter ‘blog’ in the ‘Subdomain’ field.
### Step 4: Choose the Domain
Next, select the domain under which you want to create the subdomain from the dropdown menu. If you have multiple domains associated with your Bluehost account, make sure to choose the correct one.
### Step 5: Document Root
The ‘Document Root’ field will automatically populate based on the subdomain name you entered. This is the directory where the files for your subdomain will be stored. You can change this if you want the files to be stored in a different directory.
### Step 6: Create the Subdomain
Once you have filled out the necessary information, click on the ‘Create’ button to create your subdomain. Bluehost will then set up the subdomain for you, and you will see a confirmation message once it is done.
### Step 7: Verify the Subdomain
To verify that your subdomain has been successfully created, you can type the subdomain URL in your web browser. For example, if you created a subdomain ‘blog’ for ‘example.com’, you can type ‘blog.example.com’ in the address bar and see if it
