A subdomain is a web address, that's under a main, or a root domain. One example is something.domain.com, where domain.com is the main domain name, while "something" is the subdomain below it. Each 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 fully independent and even hosted by a separate company. Employing a subdomain can be extremely beneficial if you want to have different web sites that are connected in some way. As an example, you can have an on-line store under the main domain along with a forum under a subdomain in order to supply means for your clients to ask questions and / or share thoughts concerning your products. The best thing about 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
Our shared website hosting plans will enable you to create numerous subdomains for any domain address hosted in your account without any hassle. As long as the main domain name is added, it will take two clicks to set up 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 easy access and administration. By right-clicking on any one of them and by using instant access buttons you can view the error logs, visitor statistics or website files for that specific subdomain. We have not set a limit for the total number of subdomains that you can create with any of our plans, so you can have as many as you wish.
Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Hosting
Using our semi-dedicated server plans, you'll be able to create an unrestricted amount of subdomains for any of the domains that you add as hosted in the account. It requires a couple of clicks to set up a new subdomain and throughout the process you will be able to add unique error pages for it, decide if it will use a shared or a dedicated IP address, change the default folder that it's going to access or activate FrontPage Extensions. All subdomains you've got in the account will be grouped under their root domain in alphabetical order and you're going to be able to see and handle them without difficulty. Through fast access buttons and right-click menus you'll be able to jump to the website files inside the File Manager section or view logs, visitor stats and other information about any of your subdomains.
