A subdomain is a second level domain. A subdomain for example looks like this: forum.YOURDOMAIN.com. In this example, you can say 'forum' is a child of the parent 'YOURDOMAIN'. 

Follow the instructions below to create a subdomain.

1. Login to your Control Panel (cPanel). - https://www.YOURDOMAIN.com:2083/
2. Find and open "Subdomains".
3. Enter the subdomain name you want to use, for example 'forum'. The document root is the folder where the files will reside for that particular subdomain. The document root should be the same name as the subdomain. So the document root in this example should be 'forum'.
4. Click "Create". 

You have now created a subdomain. To access the subdomain, the url is: http://forum.YOURDOMAIN.com/
