A subdomain is a web address, which is under a main, or a root domain. An illustration is something.domain.com, where domain.com is the main domain, while "something" is the subdomain below it. Every subdomain can have its own website 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 even hosted by a different service provider. Employing a subdomain can be very beneficial if you want to have different sites which are related in some way. As an example, you can have an online store under the main domain and a forum under a subdomain so as to supply means for your customers to ask questions and / or share experiences regarding your products. The best thing about 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 Web Hosting

Our web hosting plans will permit you to set up countless subdomains for every domain name hosted within your account without any difficulty. Assuming that the main domain name is added, it requires 2 mouse clicks to create a subdomain and choose what folder it's going to open (if different from the default one), create unique error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions, set a shared IP address or a dedicated one, and much more. All subdomains are going to be conveniently listed in alphabetical order under their main domain for quick access and control. By right-clicking on any of them and by using instant access buttons you can see the error logs, visitor statistics or website files for that particular subdomain. We haven't set a restriction for the amount of subdomains which you can create with any one of our plans, so you can have as many as you need.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers

With our semi-dedicated server plans, you'll be able to create an unlimited amount of subdomains for any one of the domains you add as hosted in the account.

All subdomains you've got within the account are going to be arranged under their root domain in alphabetical order and you'll be able to see and manage them without difficulty. By using instant access buttons and right-click menus you will also be able to jump to the site files inside the File Manager section or see logs, visitor statistics and other information about any one of your subdomains.
