A subdomain is a website url, that is under a main, or a root domain name. One example is something.domain.com, where domain.com is the main domain, while "something" is the subdomain below it. Each and every subdomain can have its own website and records i.e. aside from using the domain name as part of the whole web address, a subdomain can be completely independent and also hosted by a separate company. Using a subdomain can be quite useful if you want to have different sites that are associated in some way. As an example, you can have a web-based store under the main domain as well as a forum under a subdomain so as to supply means for your customers to ask questions and / or share views regarding your products. The benefit of using a subdomain as opposed to a subfolder is that the web sites are going to be separated, so you can update one of them or perform maintenance not affecting the other.
Subdomains in Shared Hosting
Our shared hosting packages will permit you to create numerous subdomains for any domain address hosted in your account without any hassle. If the main domain is added, it requires 2 clicks to create 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, plus much more. All subdomains will be conveniently listed in alphabetical order under their main domain for quick access and control. By right-clicking on any one of them and by using instant access buttons you can view the error logs, visitor statistics or site files for that particular subdomain. We have not set a restriction for the total number of subdomains which you can create with any one of our plans, so you can have as many as you want.
Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers
With our semi-dedicated server plans, you will be able to create an unlimited number of subdomains for any of the domains that you add as hosted in the account. It will take a few mouse clicks to create a new subdomain and throughout the process you are going to be able to add custom-made error pages for it, decide if it will use a shared or a dedicated IP, change the default folder that it's going to access or activate FrontPage Extensions. All subdomains you have within the account are going to be arranged under their root domain from a to z and you'll be able to see and manage them without difficulty. By using quick access buttons and right-click menus you'll also be able to jump to the website files inside the File Manager area or view logs, visitor statistics and other info about any of your subdomains.
