A subdomain is a web address, that's under a main, or a root domain. One example is something.domain.com, in which domain.com is the main domain, while "something" is the subdomain below it. Every single subdomain can have its own website and records i.e. aside from employing the domain name as part of the whole web address, a subdomain can be completely independent and also hosted by a separate provider. Employing a subdomain can be quite practical if you wish to have different websites that are associated in some way. For instance, you can have a web-based store under the main domain plus a forum under a subdomain so as to supply means for your clients to ask questions and / or share opinions regarding your products. The advantage of employing a subdomain rather than a subfolder is that the websites will be separated, so you can update one of them or perform maintenance not affecting the other.

Subdomains in Cloud Website Hosting

Every single cloud website hosting plan which we offer will enable you to create hundreds of subdomains with no more than a few clicks in your web hosting CP. They'll all 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 very easily monitor them all. Additionally, you can access lots of functions for any of the subdomains using right-click context menus - as an example, you can view or modify their DNS records, access the website files, and a lot more. While setting up a new subdomain, you're also going to have lots of options that you can pick from - define the default access folder, create customized error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions or select if the subdomain is going to use a shared or a dedicated IP address. What number of subdomains you'll have is totally up to you as we haven't limited this feature for any of our packages.
