A subdomain is a website url, that is under a main, or a root domain name. One 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 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 service provider. Employing a subdomain can be quite handy if you wish to have different sites that are connected in some way. As an example, you may have an online store under the main domain as well as a forum under a subdomain so as to provide means for your clients to ask questions or share opinions concerning your products. The best thing about employing a subdomain as opposed to a subfolder is that the web sites are going to be separated, so you're able to update one of them or perform maintenance not affecting the other.
Subdomains in Shared Website Hosting
Our shared website hosting plans will enable you to create hundreds of subdomains for any domain name hosted in your account without any hassle. Provided that the main domain address is added, it takes 2 mouse clicks to set up a subdomain and choose what folder it will open (if different from the default one), set unique error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions, set a shared IP address or a dedicated one, and much more. All subdomains will be conveniently listed in alphabetical order under their main domain for convenient access and management. By right-clicking on any of them and by using fast access buttons you can see the error logs, visitor statistics or site files for that particular subdomain. We have not set a restriction for the total amount of subdomains you can create with any of our plans, so you can have as many as you wish.
Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Hosting
With our semi-dedicated server plans, you'll be able to create an unrestricted number of subdomains for any one of the domains you add as hosted in the account. It's going to take a few clicks to create a new subdomain and in the process you are going to be able to add tailor-made 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 inside the account will be arranged under their root domain from a to z and you're going to be able to see and control all of them with ease. Using fast access buttons and right-click menus you'll be able to jump to the website files in the File Manager area or view logs, visitor stats and other info about any one of your subdomains.
