A subdomain is a website address, that is under a main, or a root domain. An example is something.domain.com, in which domain.com is the main domain name, while "something" is the subdomain below it. Every single subdomain can have its own website and records i.e. aside from employing the domain name as a part of the whole web address, a subdomain can be fully independent and even hosted by a separate service provider. Employing a subdomain can be extremely practical if you want to have different websites that are associated in some way. For instance, you may have an on-line store under the main domain and a forum under a subdomain so as to offer means for your clients to ask questions and share thoughts concerning your products. The benefit of using a subdomain instead of a subfolder is that the sites are going to be separated, so you can update one of them or perform maintenance without affecting the other.

Subdomains in Shared Website Hosting

Each and every shared website hosting plan we supply will allow you to create hundreds of subdomains with no more than a few mouse clicks inside your web hosting Control Panel. They are going to be listed in the area where you create them and grouped under the main domain for more convenience, to help you effortlessly keep tabs on all of them. Furthermore, you can access lots of functions for any one of the subdomains via right-click context menus - for instance, you can view or edit their DNS records, access the site files, and a lot more. While creating a new subdomain, you'll also have lots of options that you can choose from - define the default access folder, set customized error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions or choose if the subdomain will use a shared or a dedicated IP address. How many subdomains you will have is totally up to you as we haven't restricted this feature for any of our packages.
