A subdomain is a website address, that is under a main, or a root domain. One 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 website and records i.e. apart from employing the domain name as part of the whole web address, a subdomain can be fully independent and also hosted by a different service provider. Employing a subdomain can be extremely handy if you'd like to have different sites that are connected in some way. For instance, you can have an on-line store under the main domain and a forum under a subdomain so as to supply means for your customers to ask questions and share opinions about your products. The main advantage of using a subdomain rather than a subfolder is that the sites will be separated, so you are able to update one of them or perform maintenance not affecting the other.

Subdomains in Website Hosting

Every single website hosting plan we offer will enable you to create many subdomains with no more than a couple of clicks within your hosting Control Panel. They're going to be listed in the section in which you create them and arranged under the main domain for more convenience, so you can very easily monitor them all. In addition, you can access many functions for any one of the subdomains through right-click context menus - as an example, you can view or change their DNS records, access the site files, and more. While setting up a new subdomain, you will also have lots of options that you can pick from - specify the default access folder, set unique error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions or pick if the subdomain is going to use a shared or a dedicated IP address. The number of subdomains you are going to have is totally up to you as we haven't restricted this feature for any of our packages.
