A subdomain is a part of a web address that is under the main domain name, for instance name.example.com. Actually, even in www.example.com the "www" part is a subdomain since the fully qualified domain name is only "example.com". Each subdomain could have its own web site and records and can even be hosted through a different company if you want to use a feature which isn't provided by your current service provider. One example for using a subdomain is if you have a business site along with an online store under a subdomain where clients can acquire your products. In addition, you can have a forum where they can discuss the products and by using subdomains as opposed to subfolders you are going to avoid any risk of all sites going down if you perform maintenance, or update one of the site scripts. Keeping your websites separated is less risky in case there is a script security breach.

Subdomains in Web Hosting

Every web hosting plan which we supply will enable you to create many subdomains with no more than a couple of clicks in your web hosting Control Panel. They are going to be listed in the section in which you create them and arranged under the main domain for more convenience, so that you're able to easily monitor them all. In addition, you can access many functions for any of the subdomains using right-click context menus - for instance, you can view or modify their DNS records, access the site files, and much more. While setting up a new subdomain, you will also have lots of options that you can select from - define the default access folder, set custom 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 will have is 100 % up to you because we haven't limited this feature for any of our plans.

As soon as the subdomain is created, you'll be able to access logs and visitor stats or quickly jump to the website files for it within the File Manager section using instant access buttons.
