Subdomains are a useful way to organize or separate different parts of your website. You can use them for things like **store.yourdomain.com**, **blog.yourdomain.com**, or even test environments. Every [JetHost hosting plan](https://jethost.com/web-hosting/) includes the ability to create and manage subdomains through cPanel.

This guide will help you create and delete subdomains in cPanel on JetHost using the built-in Domains tool, even if it’s your first time working with subdomains.

1. [Log in to cPanel hosting account](https://jethost.com/kb/how-to-log-in-to-cpanel-at-jethost/).

You can upload content there, install a CMS, or build a separate section of your site.

## How to Delete a Subdomain

You can also use subdomains to run separate apps, like a help center or a store. Each subdomain works like its own mini-website with its own folder and settings. Keep track of which subdomains you’ve created to avoid confusion when managing files or domains later.

1. Go back to the **Domains** section in cPanel.
2. Find the subdomain you want to remove.
3. Click **Manage**, then select **Remove Domain**.
4. Confirm the deletion.
