Applies to: (gs)
- Difficulty: Easy

Overview

You can easily add a subdomain to your CloudFlare service. This article will show you how!

A subdomain is a domain that is part of a top-level domain. For example, example.com is a top-level domain and store.example.com is a subdomain.

You will need to have your subdomain already added to your (gs) Grid-Service. For detailed instructions, please see: Add a domain or subdomain.

Log into your AccountCenter.
On the Overview page, scroll down to your Add-On Services section. Click on the Admin button to the right of your CloudFlare service, see Figure 1:
