# How can I create a subdomain?

To create a subdomain:

- Log in to [https://clients.computancy.uk](https://clients.computancy.uk)
- Head to **Manage Hosting** -> **Manage.**
- Select the **Subdomains **icon**.**

You can then add your subdomain into the Subdomain field and select **Create Subdomain**. You're also able to change the Document Root so that you can direct the subdomain to the folder of your choosing.

**What is the document root?**

The document root is the folder which the subdirectory will use, for example, you may have a directory within your web space located within **public_html** called **support **(i.e. public_html/support), you could point your subdomain to this location by adding **public_html/support** in the Document Root field. 

 **Note:** Updating a document root can take ~15 minutes, so you may just need to be patient whilst that updates.
