  Is the subdomain going to point to you server or somewhere else? If somewhere else, all you really need to do is edit the dns zone and add the subdomain dns record.

  To my server. To create the subdomain manually I guess it is required: 1. Create the subdomain.domain.com A record in the domain dns record in [cPanel / Zone Editor / domain.com Manage / Zone Records for "domain.com" / + Add A Record] to the IP where domain.com points. 2. Configure the domain server for sending the requests to a directory / file. Something I do not know what to do with cPanel. I wonder if the A record added in step 1 is shown in the subdomain list [cPanel / Subdomains / Modify a Subdomain ] the configuration may be done by [Manage Redirection] the same as it is listed in [cPanel / Redirects / https?://(www.)? ] but if not, please let me know how to make the configuration manually. Or may be there is other way I do not know and I appreciate any tip to solve it.

  You're getting those extra domains because you have the following in WHM>>Server Configuration>>Tweak Settings enabled: [QUOTE]Thunderbird and Outlook autodiscover and autoconfig support (enables service subdomain and SRV record creation) Automatically create autodiscover and autoconfig service subdomains as well as the autodiscover SRV records needed for Outlook and Thunderbird email auto configuration for local domains.
  You can disable this if you don't want the autodiscover records being created when you add a subdomain (or any domain) through the UI Thanks!

  I have reseller access and there is no [WHM>>Server Configuration>>Tweak Settings enabled] I think there should be, because the reseller is who manage the domains, not root, but in my interface there is not such option. What am I making wrong?

  Hello @Rocko If that option isn't available in your Tweak Settings UI, I would assume that your provider has not granted you access to make such modifications. In that case you'll need to address this with them directly. Thanks!

  Is it possible for my provider (root) to enable the Tweak Settings in the reseller interface? Because he says it is not.
