To create a subdomain, you will need to add a new DNS record. Follow these steps:
Click the "Add record" button (Add record).
Choose the record type as "CNAME", enter the subdomain name and point it to "sh.sprinthub.site".
Disable the proxy option; with it enabled it will not be possible to configure the connection with Sprinthub
After configuring the required fields, click save and verify that the record was added correctly in the DNS records list.

Paste the copied content into the "Record or Host" field of your DNS records.
Return to the first window and copy the content of the "Destination / Target" field.
Paste the copied content into the "Destination or Target" field of your DNS records.
Verification CNAME record:
