A subdomain is a website address, which is under a main, or a root domain name. An example is something.domain.com, where domain.com is the main domain, while "something" is the subdomain below it. Every subdomain can have its own site and records i.e. apart from employing the domain name as a part of the whole web address, a subdomain can be fully independent and even hosted by a separate provider. Using a subdomain can be quite handy if you wish to have different websites that are associated in some way. For example, 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 opinions regarding your products. The main advantage of employing a subdomain rather than a subfolder is that the sites are going to be separated, so you're able to update one of them or perform maintenance not affecting the other.

Subdomains in Hosting

Every single hosting package which we offer will permit you to create hundreds of subdomains with no more than a couple of mouse clicks within your web hosting CP. They are going to be listed in the area in which you create them and grouped under the main domain for more convenience, so that you're able to easily keep tabs on all of them. In addition, you can access lots of functions for any of the subdomains via right-click context menus - for instance, you can view or change their DNS records, access the website files, and a lot more. While creating a new subdomain, you're also going to have a number of options that you can select from - specify the default access folder, create unique error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions or choose if the subdomain will use a shared or a dedicated IP address. How many subdomains you are going to have is totally up to you since we haven't limited this feature for any of our packages.
