A subdomain is a website url, that is under a main, or a root domain name. An illustration is something.domain.com, where domain.com is the main domain address, while "something" is the subdomain below it. Every subdomain can have its own website and records i.e. apart from employing the domain name as part of the whole web address, a subdomain can be totally independent and also hosted by a separate company. Employing a subdomain could be very useful if you'd like to have different web sites that are related in some way. For instance, you could have a web-based store under the main domain plus a forum under a subdomain so as to supply means for your customers to ask questions or share views regarding your products. The main advantage of using a subdomain as opposed to 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 Shared Web Hosting

Our shared web hosting packages will permit you to create countless subdomains for any domain address hosted in your account without any problem. Assuming that the main domain is added, it requires two clicks to set up a subdomain and choose what folder it will open (if different from the default one), set customized error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions, set a shared IP address or a dedicated one, and a lot more. All subdomains will 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 site files for that specific subdomain. We have not set a limit for the total number of subdomains that you can create with any one of our plans, so you can have as many as you want.
