A subdomain is a website url, that's under a main, or a root domain. One example is something.domain.com, in which domain.com is the main domain address, 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 a part of the whole web address, a subdomain can be completely independent and even hosted by a different service provider. Employing a subdomain can be extremely handy if you want to have different sites which are connected in some way. For example, you can have an on-line store under the main domain along with a forum under a subdomain so as to offer means for your customers to ask questions or share views concerning your products. The best thing about using a subdomain instead of a subfolder is that the websites will be separated, so you're able to update one of them or perform maintenance without affecting the other.

Subdomains in Web Hosting

Each web hosting plan which we offer will permit you to create many subdomains with no more than a couple of clicks within your web hosting Control Panel. They will all be listed in the area where you create them and arranged under the main domain for more convenience, to help you effortlessly keep tabs on all of them. Additionally, you can access many functions for any of the subdomains using right-click context menus - for instance, you can view or modify their DNS records, access the website files, and much more. While setting up a new subdomain, you're also going to have many options that you can pick from - determine the default access folder, create custom error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions or pick if the subdomain will use a shared or a dedicated IP address. The amount of subdomains you are going to have is totally up to you since we have not limited this feature for any of our packages.
