A subdomain is a web address, that is under a main, or a root domain. An example is something.domain.com, where domain.com is the main domain, while "something" is the subdomain below it. Every single 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 fully independent and even hosted by a different company. Using a subdomain could be very useful if you want to have different web sites that are related in some way. As an example, you could have an on-line store under the main domain plus a forum under a subdomain so as to supply means for your customers to ask questions and share thoughts about your products. The advantage of employing a subdomain as opposed to a subfolder is that the sites are going to be separated, so you can update one of them or perform maintenance not affecting the other.

Subdomains in Shared Website Hosting

Every shared website hosting plan which we supply will enable you to create numerous subdomains with no more than a few clicks in your hosting CP. They'll all be listed in the section in which you create them and arranged under the main domain for more convenience, so that you can easily keep track of every one of them. Additionally, you can access many functions for any of the subdomains using right-click context menus - for instance, you can view or edit their DNS records, access the website files, and much more. While setting up a new subdomain, you'll also have many options that you can choose from - specify the default access folder, create customized error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions or decide if the subdomain is going to use a shared or a dedicated IP address. What number of subdomains you will have is totally up to you since we haven't limited this feature for any of our plans.
