    Yes, it is possible to have the Document Root of your subdomain outside of your public_html directory.

    You can navigate to:

    cPanel -> Subdomains

    … there you will see a column called “Document Root” – this is the directory that your subdomain will be “loaded” from

    You can change that to another directory, for example if you place

    /subdomain.com

    in there you will create a folder /home/$USER/subdomain.com which will be your subdomain’s Document Root

    no, you can’t change it in your self, you should ticket to the host manger provide your service, because it changes in WHM
