How to add a subdomain on Vesta CP and Cloudflare

Vesta

Recently, I managed a client control panel that was hosted on Vesta Cpanel. Being a newbie to the platform, I had some issues adapting to the system and getting to know my way around it.

I tried checking online for tutorial and didn’t actually find much or even video tutorials to help solve my problems.

The Vesta cp forum was quite helpful though, but I had to do a lot of trial and error to get most of the problem fixed.

The steps below helped me on how to add a subdomain on Vesta cp.

How to add a subdomain on vesta

1. Log into your Vesta CP. under the Web tab, -> Click Add Web Domain.

2. Enter in the subdomain you want to use (sub2.example.com), select the IP address (eg. 135.135.135.135), then add.

3. Log into your DNS. I use Cloudflare for my DNS. Just add the following records under the root domain (example.com).


Type           Name                IP Address
A                 sub2                 135.135.135.135
A                 www.sub2       135.135.135.135

Thats it.

You can access the files folder via FTP. The location would be in /home/example/web/sub2.example.com
