Subdomains offer a convenient way to organize and manage different sections of your website or to create distinct web properties under your main domain. If you're using Plesk Control Panel for your web hosting management, creating a subdomain is a simple process. In this guide, we'll walk you through the steps to create a subdomain on Plesk Control Panel.

- Enter the following information:
- Subdomain Name: Choose a name for your subdomain (e.g., "blog" for blog.example.com).
