    I need to show different websites for the www and non-www versions of the website.
    I tried to add www as a subdomain but cpanel won't let me.
    Is there any solution for this?

    www. by default is created for each domain added to cpanel which point to the domain name (without www)

    easiest way is to create www2. for example

    Hello,

    As markhard mentioned, that's done automatically by default. When you create the domain.com account, www.domain.com is created automatically. So you can not then create a subdomain for www.
