A subdomain is a website url, that is under a main, or a root domain. An illustration is something.domain.com, where domain.com is the main domain address, while "something" is the subdomain below it. Each subdomain can have its own site and records i.e. apart from using the domain name as part of the whole web address, a subdomain can be entirely independent and also hosted by a separate company. Employing a subdomain could be very useful if you'd like to have different websites which are connected in some way. For instance, you may have an online store under the main domain as well as a forum under a subdomain so as to supply means for your customers to ask questions or share experiences about your products. The best thing about using a subdomain rather than a subfolder is that the sites are going to be separated, so you're able to update one of them or perform maintenance without affecting the other.

Subdomains in Shared Hosting

Our shared hosting plans will enable you to create many subdomains for every domain address hosted inside your account without any difficulty. Provided that the main domain address is added, it requires 2 clicks to set up a subdomain and choose what folder it'll open (if different from the default one), create custom error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions, set a shared IP address or a dedicated one, and a lot more. All subdomains are going to be conveniently listed in alphabetical order under their main domain for convenient access and management. By right-clicking on any one of them and by using quick access buttons you can view the error logs, visitor statistics or website files for that particular subdomain. We have not set a restriction for the amount of subdomains you can create with any of our plans, so you can have as many as you need.
