    Yes you can :p

    After you add subdomain on cpanel, edit your httpd.conf and find the line of that subdomain:

    &VirtualHost XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX&
    BytesLog domlogs/subdomain.domain.com-bytes_log
    ServerName subdomain.domain.com
    ServerAlias www.subdomain.domain.com &&---- Add This Line
    ServerAdmin wwwadmin@domain.com
    DocumentRoot /home/username/public_html/dirname
    CustomLog domlogs/subdomain.domain.com combined
    ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /home/username/public_html/dirname/cgi-bin/
    &/VirtualHost&

    Than, restart your Apache. Thats it.

    Thank you.

    As this topic has recently been covered in other posts and to edit every entry by hand would be just plain nuts, I suggest those wanting to do this study up on &Wildcard DNS Setting& so it is automatically done for all accounts.

    Adding www changes it to third level

    In most cases you wouldn't want to add it as www.sub.yourdomain.com because that makes it a third level domain not a subdomain.
