Log in to your GoDaddy account.
Navigate to the “My Products” section.
Click the “Manage” button located on the right side of the screen.
Next, click “Cpanel.”
Scroll down and locate the “Subdomains” button and click.
A new window will open. In the “Subdomains” window, type in the name of the subdomain you’d like to create. Your document root will autogenerate.
Click the “Create” button.
