A subdomain is a website address, that is 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 and every subdomain can have its own site and records i.e. aside from using the domain name as a part of the whole web address, a subdomain can be totally independent and also hosted by a different service provider. Employing a subdomain can be very practical if you'd like to have different web sites that are associated in some way. For example, you could have an on-line store under the main domain plus a forum under a subdomain so as to offer means for your clients to ask questions and share opinions concerning your products. The best thing about using a subdomain rather than a subfolder is that the websites are going to be separated, so you are able to update one of them or perform maintenance without affecting the other.

Subdomains in Web Hosting

Our web hosting plans will allow you to create countless subdomains for every domain address hosted in your account without any problem. If the main domain is added, it will take two clicks to create a subdomain and pick what folder it'll open (if different from the default one), set unique error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions, set a shared IP address or a dedicated one, and much more. All subdomains will be conveniently listed in alphabetical order under their main domain for effortless access and control. By right-clicking on any of them and by using instant access buttons you can view the error logs, visitor statistics or site files for that specific subdomain. We haven't set a limit for the total amount of subdomains which you can create with any of our plans, so you can have as many as you wish.
