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 name, while "something" is the subdomain below it. Each subdomain can have its own website and records i.e. apart from using the domain name as part of the whole web address, a subdomain can be totally independent and also hosted by a different service provider. Employing a subdomain can be very handy if you'd like to have different websites that are associated in some way. For instance, you may 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 / or share experiences concerning your products. The advantage of using a subdomain rather than a subfolder is that the web sites will be separated, so that you can update one of them or perform maintenance not affecting the other.

Subdomains in Shared Website Hosting

Each shared website hosting package that we supply will allow you to create numerous subdomains with no more than a couple of mouse clicks within your hosting CP. They'll all be listed in the area where 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 - for instance, you can view or edit their DNS records, access the site files, and much more. While creating a new subdomain, you are also going to have many options that you can select from - define the default access folder, set custom error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions or select if the subdomain will use a shared or a dedicated IP address. The number of subdomains you will have is 100 % up to you because we haven't restricted this feature for any of our plans.
