A subdomain is a website address, that is under a main, or a root domain name. An example is something.domain.com, where domain.com is the main domain address, while "something" is the subdomain below it. Each and every subdomain can have its own website and records i.e. aside from using the domain name as a part of the whole web address, a subdomain can be completely independent and even hosted by a separate service provider. Employing a subdomain can be quite practical if you wish to have different sites which are associated in some way. As an example, you may have an online store under the main domain along with a forum under a subdomain so as to supply means for your clients to ask questions or share opinions concerning your products. The advantage of employing a subdomain instead of a subfolder is that the websites 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 hosting plan which we provide will permit you to create numerous subdomains with no more than a couple of mouse clicks inside your hosting CP. They're going to be listed in the area where you create them and grouped under the main domain for more convenience, so that you can effortlessly monitor every one of them. Additionally, you can access a lot of functions for any one of the subdomains through right-click context menus - for instance, you can view or modify their DNS records, access the website files, and more. While creating a new subdomain, you'll also have many options that you can select from - define the default access folder, set unique 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'll have is entirely up to you as we haven't restricted this feature for any of our plans.
