A subdomain is a web address, that is under a main, or a root domain. An illustration is something.domain.com, in which domain.com is the main domain address, while "something" is the subdomain below it. Every single subdomain can have its own site and records i.e. aside from using the domain name as a part of the whole web address, a subdomain can be fully independent and even hosted by a different service provider. Using a subdomain can be very beneficial if you'd like to have different sites which are connected in some way. For example, you could have an online store under the main domain and a forum under a subdomain so as to provide means for your customers to ask questions and share opinions concerning your products. The advantage of employing a subdomain rather than a subfolder is that the websites will be separated, so that you can update one of them or perform maintenance not affecting the other.
Subdomains in Hosting
Our hosting packages will enable you to set up numerous subdomains for any domain hosted inside your account without any hassle. Provided that the main domain is added, it takes 2 clicks to create a subdomain and pick what folder it's going to open (if different from the default one), set unique error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions, set a shared IP address or a dedicated one, and a lot more. All subdomains are going to be conveniently listed in alphabetical order under their main domain for quick access and management. By right-clicking on any of them and by using fast access buttons you can view the error logs, visitor statistics or site files for that specific subdomain. We have not set a restriction for the amount of subdomains which you can create with any one of our plans, so you can have as many as you need.
