A subdomain is a web address, that's under a main, or a root domain. One example is something.domain.com, in which domain.com is the main domain, while "something" is the subdomain below it. Every single 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 entirely independent and also hosted by a different service provider. Employing a subdomain can be quite beneficial if you wish to have different web sites that are associated in some way. For instance, you can have a web-based store under the main domain and a forum under a subdomain in order to offer means for your customers to ask questions or share thoughts about your products. The main advantage of using a subdomain instead of a subfolder is that the websites will be separated, so you are able to update one of them or perform maintenance without affecting the other.

Subdomains in Shared Website Hosting

Every shared website hosting package which we provide will permit you to create hundreds of subdomains with no more than a few mouse clicks within your website hosting CP. They will all be listed in the area in which you create them and arranged under the main domain for more convenience, so you can very easily keep tabs on them all. Additionally, you can access lots of functions for any of the subdomains through right-click context menus - as an example, you can view or edit their DNS records, access the website files, and much more. While setting up a new subdomain, you will also have lots of options that you can choose from - determine the default access folder, create custom error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions or select if the subdomain is going to use a shared or a dedicated IP address. How many subdomains you will have is 100 % up to you as we haven't limited this feature for any one of our plans.
