A subdomain is a web address, that's under a main, or a root domain name. 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 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 useful if you want to have different websites which are related in some way. For instance, you could have an on-line 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 views regarding your products. The advantage of employing a subdomain as opposed to a subfolder is that the web sites will be separated, so you're able to update one of them or perform maintenance without affecting the other.

Subdomains in Shared Hosting

Every shared hosting plan we offer will permit you to create numerous subdomains with no more than a few mouse clicks inside your website hosting CP. They're going to be listed in the area where you create them and grouped under the main domain for more convenience, so you can effortlessly keep an eye on all of them. Furthermore, you can access a lot of functions for any of the subdomains using right-click context menus - for instance, you can view or change their DNS records, access the site files, plus much more. While setting up a new subdomain, you are also going to have many options that you can pick from - specify the default access folder, create custom error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions or select if the subdomain will use a shared or a dedicated IP address. How many subdomains you'll have is completely up to you since we haven't restricted this feature for any of our packages.
