In the Domains section, click on the Zone Editor icon.



Under Domains, you can see many options below the Actions text.



Click on the A Record, and a small window will pop open. Please enter the required details in it.

Name: Enter the name you wish to add, for example, add a blog and the cPanel will automatically add a domain name like blog.example.com.
