I used this guide to install zpanel: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles/how-to-install-zpanel-on-centos-6 During installation I put zpanel.mydomain.com But the only way I can access zpanel is through www.mydomain.com Keep in mind the domain was purchased somewhere else. When I went into my account where I purchased the domain I set up a subdomain: zpanel.mysite.com Now how do I point this to make it work to access zpanel on my subdomain?

Creating the sub-domain w/the DNS registrar is only 1 step in the process. You also have to tell your web server what page to load when someone comes a'knocking via the sub-domain. You need to do that in either 
/etc/nginx/sites-available

or 
/etc/apache2/sites-available


Then--for Nginx--create a symbolic link in 
/etc/nginx/sites-enabled

to zpanel.mysite.com by executing 
sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/zpanel.mysite.com /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/zpanel.mysite.com


For Apache, the command is: 
sudo a2ensite zpanel.mysite.com

I have same question, I'm completely lost in setting up subdomain.
I'm not even sure did I do all ok.
I have domain registered at namecheap, I put there NS1,NS2,NS3, I put in digital ocean setup, just for A record, mydomain.com to point to ip.
For installation of zpanel I put zpanel.mydomain.com, but when I go to my ip it goes to zpanel ... I'm all lost and confused how to set it up, there is no clear instruction for non developers. Thanks.

For example how to redirect my VPS IP to a subdomain like: 123.12.12.12/zpanel?

@Miguel: Do you want to redirect http://123.12.12.12/ to http://123.12.12.12/zpanel?

/zpanel is a subdirectory, not a subdomain. Please create a separate question.
