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, while "something" is the subdomain below it. Each and every subdomain can have its own site and records i.e. aside from employing the domain name as a part of the whole web address, a subdomain can be totally independent and also hosted by a separate service provider. Employing a subdomain could be very beneficial if you want to have different web sites which are connected in some way. As an example, you can have an online store under the main domain and a forum under a subdomain in order to offer means for your customers to ask questions and share opinions about your products. The main advantage of employing a subdomain as opposed to 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 Shared Hosting

Each shared hosting package which we supply will enable you to create hundreds of subdomains with no more than a couple of clicks in your hosting Control Panel. They'll all be listed in the area where you create them and arranged under the main domain for more convenience, so that you can effortlessly monitor all of them. Furthermore, you can access lots of functions for any one of the subdomains via right-click context menus - for example, you can view or edit their DNS records, access the website files, and a lot more. While setting up a new subdomain, you're also going to have many options that you can select from - define the default access folder, set custom error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions or choose if the subdomain will use a shared or a dedicated IP address. The number of subdomains you will have is 100 % up to you because we have not limited this feature for any of our plans.
