A subdomain is a website url, that is under a main, or a root domain. An illustration 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. aside from employing the domain name as part of the whole web address, a subdomain can be totally independent and also hosted by a separate provider. Using a subdomain can be very beneficial if you'd like to have different sites that are associated in some way. For instance, you may have an online store under the main domain as well as a forum under a subdomain in order to provide means for your clients to ask questions and share thoughts regarding your products. The 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 supply will allow you to create hundreds of subdomains with no more than a few mouse clicks in your hosting CP. They're going to be listed in the section where you create them and arranged under the main domain for more convenience, so that you're able to very easily keep track of all of them. Additionally, you can access many functions for any of the subdomains via right-click context menus - for example, you can view or modify their DNS records, access the site files, and a lot more. While creating a new subdomain, you're also going to have numerous options that you can select from - define the default access folder, set customized error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions or choose if the subdomain is going to use a shared or a dedicated IP address. The number of subdomains you are going to have is completely up to you because we have not limited this feature for any one of our plans.
