A subdomain is a website url, that's under a main, or a root domain name. One example is something.domain.com, where domain.com is the main domain, while "something" is the subdomain below it. Each and every subdomain can have its own site and records i.e. aside from employing the domain name as a part of the whole web address, a subdomain can be totally independent and even hosted by a separate company. Using a subdomain can be quite handy if you'd like to have different web sites which are associated in some way. As an example, you may have a web-based store under the main domain as well as a forum under a subdomain so as to provide means for your clients to ask questions and / or share views regarding your products. The advantage of employing a subdomain instead of a subfolder is that the websites are going to be separated, so you are able to update one of them or perform maintenance without affecting the other.

Subdomains in Website Hosting

Every single website hosting plan that we offer will allow you to create hundreds of subdomains with no more than a couple of clicks inside your web hosting CP. They'll all be listed in the section in which you create them and grouped under the main domain for more convenience, so you can effortlessly keep tabs on them all. 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 edit their DNS records, access the site files, and more. While creating a new subdomain, you are also going to have a number of options that you can select from - determine 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 will have is 100 % up to you as we have not limited this feature for any of our plans.

Even if you create a large number of subdomains, you are going to be able to keep track of all of them with ease because they will be listed in alphabetical order below their main domain. For any of them, you are able to access the site files or see logs and usage statistics through instant access buttons.
