A subdomain is a part of a web address that's under the main domain, for instance name.example.com. From a technical perspective, even in www.example.com the "www" part is a subdomain given that the fully qualified domain name is just "example.com". Every single subdomain could have its own web site and records and can even be hosted using a different provider if you want to use a feature which is not provided by your current provider. An example for using a subdomain is if you have a company website and an online store under a subdomain where clients can purchase your products. You can also have a forum where they can talk about the products and by employing subdomains as an alternative to subfolders you'll avoid any chance of all websites going down if you perform maintenance, or update one of the site scripts. Keeping your sites separated is more secure in case there is a script security breach.

Subdomains in Hosting

Each and every hosting package which we supply will enable you to create numerous subdomains with no more than a few mouse clicks within your website hosting CP. They'll all be listed in the section where you create them and arranged under the main domain for more convenience, so that you can very easily keep an eye on every one of them. In addition, you can access a lot of functions for any of the subdomains through right-click context menus - as an example, you can view or edit their DNS records, access the site files, and a lot more. While setting up a new subdomain, you'll also have lots of options that you can select from - define the default access folder, set customized error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions or choose if the subdomain is going to use a shared or a dedicated IP address. The number of subdomains you'll have is completely up to you since we have not restricted this feature for any one of our plans.
