A subdomain is a web address, that's under a main, or a root domain name. An illustration is something.domain.com, where 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 using the domain name as part of the whole web address, a subdomain can be fully independent and even hosted by a separate company. Employing a subdomain can be very handy if you'd like to have different websites that are related in some way. For instance, you can have an online store under the main domain as well as a forum under a subdomain in order to supply means for your clients to ask questions and share views about your products. The advantage of employing a subdomain as opposed to a subfolder is that the websites will be separated, so that you can update one of them or perform maintenance without affecting the other.

Subdomains in Hosting

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