A subdomain is a website url, which is under a main, or a root domain name. An example is something.domain.com, in which 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 a part of the whole web address, a subdomain can be fully independent and even hosted by a different provider. Employing a subdomain can be very beneficial if you want to have different web sites which are connected in some way. For instance, you can have a web-based store under the main domain along with a forum under a subdomain so as to offer means for your customers to ask questions or share views regarding your products. The best thing about using a subdomain rather than a subfolder is that the sites will be separated, so you're able to update one of them or perform maintenance not affecting the other.

Subdomains in Shared Website Hosting

Every single shared website hosting plan which we offer will enable you to create numerous subdomains with no more than a couple of clicks within your web hosting CP. They're going to be listed in the area in which you create them and arranged under the main domain for more convenience, so that you're able to effortlessly keep track of every one of them. Additionally, you can access a lot of functions for any of the subdomains using right-click context menus - for example, you can view or modify their DNS records, access the site files, and more. While setting up a new subdomain, you'll also have numerous options that you can select from - specify the default access folder, set unique error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions or choose if the subdomain is going to use a shared or a dedicated IP address. The amount of subdomains you are going to have is 100 % up to you as we haven't restricted this feature for any one of our packages.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Hosting

You can create as many subdomains as you want with any one of our Linux semi-dedicated hosting packages as we haven't set an upper limit for this feature.

Even if you set up a great number of subdomains, you are going to be able to keep track of them with ease since they are going to be listed in alphabetical order below their main domain. For any one of them, you can also access the website files or see logs and usage stats via instant access buttons.
