A subdomain is a web address, that's under a main, or a root domain. An example is something.domain.com, in which domain.com is the main domain name, 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 completely independent and also hosted by a different provider. Using a subdomain can be extremely beneficial if you want to have different web sites that are related in some way. For example, you can have an online store under the main domain as well as a forum under a subdomain in order to provide means for your clients to ask questions and share opinions regarding your products. The benefit of employing a subdomain rather than a subfolder is that the web sites are going to be separated, so that you can update one of them or perform maintenance without affecting the other.

Subdomains in Web Hosting

Our web hosting packages will permit you to create numerous subdomains for any domain name hosted inside your account without any hassle. If the main domain address is added, it takes 2 mouse clicks to set up a subdomain and select what folder it's going to open (if different from the default one), create customized error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions, set a shared IP address or a dedicated one, plus much more. All subdomains will be conveniently listed in alphabetical order under their main domain for easy access and administration. By right-clicking on any one of them and by using quick access buttons you can view the error logs, visitor statistics or site files for that specific subdomain. We have not set a limit for the total amount of subdomains which you can create with any of our plans, so you can have as many as you wish.
