A subdomain is a website address, 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. Every subdomain can have its own website and records i.e. apart from using the domain name as a part of the whole web address, a subdomain can be completely independent and also hosted by a different company. Using a subdomain could be very handy if you'd like to have different sites that are related in some way. For instance, you could have a web-based store under the main domain along with a forum under a subdomain in order to supply means for your clients to ask questions and share experiences about your products. The benefit 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 without affecting the other.

Subdomains in Web Hosting

Every single web hosting package which we offer will allow you to create hundreds of subdomains with no more than a few clicks within your hosting Control Panel. They are going to be listed in the area in which you create them and arranged under the main domain for more convenience, to help you easily keep tabs on all of them. In addition, you can access lots of functions for any one of the subdomains via right-click context menus - for example, you can view or modify their DNS records, access the site files, plus much more. While creating a new subdomain, you will also have numerous options that you can pick from - specify the default access folder, create customized error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions or pick if the subdomain is going to use a shared or a dedicated IP address. The number of subdomains you will have is entirely up to you as we have not limited this feature for any one of our packages.
