You can create subdomains for any existing domain added to your Hostman dashboard.

#### Keep in mind:

-   To set a TXT record for a subdomain (including SPF and DKIM), create this records for the main domain.
-   Subdomains use the same nameservers as the main domain.

> [!NOTE]
> Currently, it is not possible to change the nameservers for a subdomain. 

## Creating a Subdomain

To create a subdomain:

1.  Go to the **Domains and SSL** section and click on the domain.
    
2.  Move to the **Subdomains** tab and click **Create**.
    
3.  Specify the subdomain and the IP address to be used as the subdomain's A record. You can:

-   Choose one of the services on the account.
    
-   Manually enter an IP address.
    
-   Specify no IP address—in this case, an A record for the subdomain will not be created.
    

5.  Click **Add**.

## Subdomain DNS Records

DNS records for a subdomain are managed exactly the same as for the main domain.

> [!NOTE]
> You cannot change the nameservers for a subdomain. The subdomain will use the same nameservers as the main domain.

To edit DNS records of a subdomain:

1.  Go to the **Domains and SSL** section and click on the main domain.
    
2.  Go to the **DNS** tab.
    
3.  Select the subdomain from the dropdown list.

You can edit existing records, delete them, and add new ones as described in the [Manage DNS Records](https://hostman.com/docs/domains/manage-dns/) article.

## Linking Subdomains to Services

You can change the service to which the subdomain is linked. This essentially means changing the A record for the subdomain. This can be done in two ways:

-   **In the DNS editor**: 
    
    1.  Go to the **Domains and SSL** section and click on the main domain.
        
    2.  Go to the **DNS** tab.
        
    3.  Select the subdomain from the dropdown list.
        
    4.  Edit the A record (or create one) and set the desired service or IP address as its value.
-   **Using the Change Server option**:
    
    1.  Go to the **Domains and SSL** section and click on the main domain.
    2.  Go to the **Subdomains** tab.
    3.  Click the three dots next to the subdomain and select **Change Server**.

1.  4.  Select a Hostman service or manually enter an IP address you want to link the subdomain to.
        
    5.  Save the changes.

1.  Go to the **Domains and SSL** section and click on the main domain.
