A subdomain is a website address, that's under a main, or a root domain name. One example is something.domain.com, in which domain.com is the main domain name, while "something" is the subdomain below it. Each and every subdomain can have its own site and records i.e. apart from employing the domain name as part of the whole web address, a subdomain can be totally independent and even hosted by a separate provider. Using a subdomain can be quite useful if you'd like to have different web sites that are connected in some way. For example, you could have an on-line store under the main domain and a forum under a subdomain in order to provide means for your clients to ask questions and / or share views concerning your products. The best thing about employing a subdomain as opposed to a subfolder is that the websites are going to be separated, so that you can update one of them or perform maintenance not affecting the other.

Subdomains in Shared Website Hosting

Our shared website hosting plans will enable you to set up numerous subdomains for any domain name hosted within your account without any problem. Provided that the main domain name is added, it takes two clicks to set up a subdomain and pick what folder it will open (if different from the default one), set custom error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions, set a shared IP address or a dedicated one, and a lot more. All subdomains will be conveniently listed in alphabetical order under their main domain for easy access and control. By right-clicking on any of them and by using instant access buttons you can see the error logs, visitor statistics or site files for that particular subdomain. We haven't set a limit for the amount of subdomains which you can create with any of our plans, so you can have as many as you need.
