A subdomain is a website address, that is under a main, or a root domain. An illustration is something.domain.com, where domain.com is the main domain name, while "something" is the subdomain below it. Each subdomain can have its own site and records i.e. aside from using the domain name as a part of the whole web address, a subdomain can be completely independent and also hosted by a different service provider. Employing a subdomain could be very handy if you'd like to have different sites which are associated in some way. As an example, you can 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 and / or share experiences regarding your products. The main advantage of employing a subdomain as opposed to a subfolder is that the sites will be separated, so you can update one of them or perform maintenance without affecting the other.

Subdomains in Web Hosting

Our web hosting packages will allow you to set up many subdomains for every domain address hosted in your account without any difficulty. Provided that the main domain is added, it takes two clicks to set up a subdomain and pick what folder it'll open (if different from the default one), create customized 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 quick access and administration. 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 haven't set a limit for the total amount of subdomains you can create with any one of our plans, so you can have as many as you need.

When the subdomain is set up, you can access logs and visitor stats or you can swiftly jump to the website files for it within the File Manager section using fast access buttons. All subdomains you have inside the account will be conveniently listed under their root domain, so you will be able to find and manage every single one of them with ease.
