If you are a HostPapa customer, you can easily manage your subdomains with cPanel. A subdomain allows you to section off your hosting account to act as a different website without getting a new domain name. The subdomain address includes an additional element positioned in front of your main domain in a URL (e.g. subdomain.maindomain.com).
