A subdomain is a website url, that's under a main, or a root domain. One example is something.domain.com, in which domain.com is the main domain name, while "something" is the subdomain below it. Each subdomain can have its own site and records i.e. aside from employing the domain name as part of the whole web address, a subdomain can be entirely independent and also hosted by a separate service provider. Using a subdomain can be extremely handy if you want to have different web sites that are related in some way. As an example, you can have an on-line store under the main domain along with a forum under a subdomain in order to provide means for your clients to ask questions or share views concerning your products. The advantage of employing a subdomain as opposed to a subfolder is that the web sites will be separated, so you are able to update one of them or perform maintenance not affecting the other.

Subdomains in Website Hosting

Our website hosting plans will enable you to create hundreds of subdomains for any domain hosted in your account without any hassle. Assuming that the main domain is added, it requires two mouse clicks to set up a subdomain and pick what folder it's going to open (if different from the default one), create custom error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions, set a shared IP address or a dedicated one, plus much more. All subdomains will be conveniently listed in alphabetical order under their main domain for convenient access and administration. By right-clicking on any one of them and by using quick access buttons you can see the error logs, visitor statistics or site files for that particular subdomain. We have not set a restriction for the total amount of subdomains which you can create with any of our plans, so you can have as many as you wish.
