A subdomain is a website url, which 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. Every subdomain can have its own website and records i.e. aside from using the domain name as a part of the whole web address, a subdomain can be totally independent and also hosted by a separate provider. Using a subdomain could be very beneficial if you wish to have different websites that are associated in some way. For example, you could have an on-line store under the main domain plus a forum under a subdomain so as to supply means for your clients to ask questions and / or share views regarding your products. The main advantage of employing a subdomain as opposed to a subfolder is that the web sites are going to be separated, so that you can update one of them or perform maintenance not affecting the other.

Subdomains in Shared Website Hosting

Each and every shared website hosting plan we provide will permit you to create hundreds of subdomains with no more than a few clicks in your web hosting Control Panel. They are going to be listed in the section in which you create them and grouped under the main domain for more convenience, so you can very easily keep tabs on every one of them. Additionally, you can access a lot of functions for any one of the subdomains via right-click context menus - as an example, you can view or modify their DNS records, access the site files, and much more. While setting up a new subdomain, you will also have lots of options that you can select from - specify the default access folder, set unique error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions or decide if the subdomain will use a shared or a dedicated IP address. How many subdomains you will have is entirely up to you as we have not restricted this feature for any of our packages.
