# Creating Tenants {#creating-tenants}

To create a tenant, you can use

```php
tenant()->create('tenant1.yourapp.com');
```

> Tip: All domains under `.localhost` are routed to 127.0.0.1 on most operating systems. This is useful for development.

If you want to set some data while creating the tenant, you can pass an array with the data as the second argument:

```php
tenant()->create('tenant2.yourapp.com', [
    'plan' => 'free'
]);
```
