How to Point a Subdomain to Veerhost (blog., shop., etc.)

Estimated reading: 1 minute

Subdomains (like blog.yourdomain.com) can point to Veerhost using DNS records, then be configured inside cPanel to serve from a folder.

Step 1: Create DNS record

At your DNS provider, add:

  • A record: blog → Veerhost IP
    (You can also point a subdomain to another service if needed, but for Veerhost hosting use the server IP.)

Step 2: Add subdomain in cPanel

In cPanel:

  • Open Domains or Subdomains (depending on your cPanel)
  • Create the subdomain
  • Choose its document root folder (example: public_html/blog)

Step 3: Upload content

Upload your subdomain website into the subdomain’s document root folder.

Notes

If your subdomain already exists as a DNS record, creating it in cPanel is still necessary so the server knows where its files live.
