A subdomain is part of a web address that is under the main domain, such as name.example.com. Actually, even in www.example.com the "www" part is a subdomain given that the fully qualified domain name is just "example.com". Every subdomain can have its own web site and records and can even be hosted through a different company if you need to use a specific feature that isn't provided by your current provider. One example for using a subdomain is if you have a business site and an online store under a subdomain where customers can purchase your products. You can even have a forum where they can talk about the products and by employing subdomains as opposed to subfolders you will avoid any probability of all sites going down when you perform maintenance, or update one of the site scripts. Keeping your sites separated is less risky in case of a script security breach.

Subdomains in Web Hosting

Every single web hosting plan that we offer will allow you to create many subdomains with no more than a few mouse clicks within your hosting CP. They'll all be listed in the section where you create them and arranged under the main domain for more convenience, so you can very easily keep an eye on them all. Furthermore, you can access a lot of functions for any of the subdomains via right-click context menus - as an example, you can view or edit their DNS records, access the site files, plus much more. While setting up a new subdomain, you'll also have numerous options that you can select from - specify the default access folder, create customized error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions or choose if the subdomain will use a shared or a dedicated IP address. The amount of subdomains you will have is 100 % up to you since we haven't restricted this feature for any one of our plans.
