# Creating a Subdomain

Subdomains let you create separate sections of your site under a different prefix, such as `blog.example.com` or `shop.example.com`.

## Creating a Subdomain

**1. Go to Websites & Domains**

Log in to Plesk and click **Websites & Domains** in the left sidebar.

**2. Select Your Domain**

Find the domain you want to add a subdomain to and click **Subdomains** beneath it.

**3. Add a Subdomain**

Click **Add Subdomain**.

**4. Enter the Subdomain Name**

Enter the prefix only — for example, enter `blog` to create `blog.example.com`. The document root will be set automatically.

**5. Confirm**

Click **OK**. The subdomain will be created and ready to use.

## Notes

* Subdomains use the same nameservers as the parent domain — no additional DNS changes are needed.
* Each subdomain gets its own document root folder, so files are kept separate from the main domain.
* You can install an SSL certificate on a subdomain the same way as a primary domain. See [Installing a Free Let's Encrypt SSL Certificate](https://docs.digitalfyre.com/web-hosting/ssl/lets-encrypt).
