A subdomain is a web address, that's under a main, or a root domain name. An example is something.domain.com, where domain.com is the main domain address, while "something" is the subdomain below it. Each and every subdomain can have its own site and records i.e. aside from using the domain name as a part of the whole web address, a subdomain can be entirely independent and also hosted by a different service provider. Using a subdomain can be quite practical if you wish to have different websites that are connected in some way. For example, you can have an online store under the main domain as well as a forum under a subdomain in order to offer means for your clients to ask questions and share views concerning your products. The main advantage of using a subdomain instead of 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 Hosting

Every single hosting package that we offer will enable you to create many subdomains with no more than a few clicks inside your web hosting Control Panel. They're going to be listed in the area where you create them and arranged under the main domain for more convenience, so that you can very easily keep an eye on them all. Additionally, you can access many functions for any of the subdomains using right-click context menus - for example, you can view or change their DNS records, access the site files, and a lot more. While setting up a new subdomain, you will also have a number of options that you can select from - define the default access folder, create customized error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions or pick if the subdomain is going to use a shared or a dedicated IP address. The number of subdomains you are going to have is totally up to you since we have not restricted this feature for any of our packages.
