How To Create Subdomains in cPanel using PHP?
Subdomains in cPanel are additional, separate parts of a website that operate under a main domain. They are often used to organize content into distinct sections, host different services, or create development environments.
For one or two subdomains, we can create manually in cPanel by entering the subdomain name and the primary domain. However, it becomes unworkable when several subdomains must be created based on user activities. Consider a website that requires users to register before they may use its services. After registering, a new subdomain is created. Manually creating each subdomain in this case is both unpleasant and impractical.
How to fix this?
In such a case, we can use PHP code to create subdomains dynamically. To do so, we must include a code snippet to the current codebase. Before applying the PHP code, make sure port 2082 is open for the cPanel setup and find the cPanel skin by going to cPanel > Preferences > Change Style.
