  2. Create subdomain mailbox. Note In this case, the subdomain will be added in the section "My sites" not as a subdomain, but as a site.
  3. Transfer subdomain files to the new directory. For example, files of the test.example.com subdomain should be located in the directory example.com/test, but if you add it not as a subdomain, but as a site, the files will have to be placed in the directory test.example.com/www.
