A subdomain is a web address, that is under a main, or a root domain. 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 site and records i.e. aside from employing the domain name as part of the whole web address, a subdomain can be fully independent and even hosted by a different service provider. Using a subdomain could be very beneficial if you want to have different web sites which are connected in some way. As an example, you could have a web-based store under the main domain as well as a forum under a subdomain in order to provide means for your customers to ask questions or share experiences about your products. The main advantage of employing a subdomain rather than a subfolder is that the sites will be separated, so you're able to update one of them or perform maintenance not affecting the other.

Subdomains in Web Hosting

Each web hosting package which we provide will enable you to create numerous subdomains with no more than a couple of mouse clicks inside your web hosting CP. They will all be listed in the section in which you create them and grouped under the main domain for more convenience, so that you can effortlessly keep track of every one of them. Additionally, you can access lots of functions for any of the subdomains using right-click context menus - for instance, you can view or edit their DNS records, access the website files, and more. While creating a new subdomain, you will also have many options that you can select from - specify the default access folder, set custom error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions or decide if the subdomain will use a shared or a dedicated IP address. The amount of subdomains you are going to have is 100 % up to you since we have not limited this feature for any one of our plans.

Even if you create a large number of subdomains, you are going to be able to keep track of all of them with ease because they are going to be listed in alphabetical order below their main domain. For any of them, you can even access the website files or check out logs and usage statistics through quick access buttons.
