A subdomain is a web address, that is under a main, or a root domain. An illustration is something.domain.com, where domain.com is the main domain name, while "something" is the subdomain below it. Each and every subdomain can have its own site and records i.e. apart from employing the domain name as part of the whole web address, a subdomain can be fully independent and also hosted by a different service provider. Using a subdomain can be quite useful if you'd like to have different websites that are connected in some way. As an example, you could have an on-line store under the main domain along with a forum under a subdomain in order to provide means for your clients to ask questions or share experiences regarding your products. The best thing about using a subdomain rather than a subfolder is that the sites will be separated, so you can update one of them or perform maintenance not affecting the other.

Subdomains in Shared Web Hosting

Each and every shared web hosting package we provide will enable you to create numerous subdomains with no more than a couple of mouse clicks in your web hosting CP. They're going to be listed in the section in which you create them and grouped under the main domain for more convenience, so that you're able to very easily keep an eye on every one of them. Additionally, you can access many functions for any one of the subdomains through 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'll also have many options that you can select from - define the default access folder, set custom error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions or select if the subdomain is going to use a shared or a dedicated IP address. The number of subdomains you will have is totally up to you as we haven't limited this feature for any of our plans.
