OK, So I own a VPS hosting account with WHM/CPanel.

I have created a subdomain as cdn.domain.com in cpanel.

I can view the subdomain if I visit the URL via domain.com/cdn but I can not view the URL if I visit it as cdn.domain.com. Doing the latter gets me "Server not found".

I do not understand what I am doing wrong

Any help will be very much appreciated

Sounds like DNS for your domain is hosted elsewhere, not in your server.

Hello,

Thanks for the information regarding CloudFlare. That is true that CloudFlare uses their own DNS servers, so if you activate CloudFlare, your name servers have to be changed and you will fall into propagation issues.
