A subdomain is a web address, which is under a main, or a root domain. An illustration is something.domain.com, in which domain.com is the main domain address, while "something" is the subdomain below it. Every subdomain can have its own site and records i.e. apart from using the domain name as a part of the whole web address, a subdomain can be totally independent and even hosted by a different company. Employing a subdomain can be extremely useful if you want to have different sites which are related in some way. For instance, you could have an on-line store under the main domain as well as a forum under a subdomain in order to provide means for your customers to ask questions and share experiences regarding your products. The main advantage of employing a subdomain rather than a subfolder is that the websites are going to be separated, so you're able to update one of them or perform maintenance without affecting the other.

Subdomains in Web Hosting

Every web hosting plan which we provide will allow you to create hundreds of subdomains with no more than a couple of mouse clicks within your web hosting CP. They'll all be listed in the section where you create them and arranged under the main domain for more convenience, so you can effortlessly keep an eye on all of them. Furthermore, you can access many functions for any one of the subdomains using right-click context menus - as an example, you can view or change their DNS records, access the site files, and much more. While creating a new subdomain, you're also going to have lots of options that you can select from - define the default access folder, set custom error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions or pick if the subdomain will use a shared or a dedicated IP address. How many subdomains you are going to have is completely up to you because we have not limited this feature for any one of our plans.
