A subdomain is a web address, that's under a main, or a root domain. An illustration is something.domain.com, in which domain.com is the main domain address, while "something" is the subdomain below it. Every single subdomain can have its own website and records i.e. apart from employing the domain name as a part of the whole web address, a subdomain can be entirely independent and even hosted by a separate service provider. Using a subdomain can be quite practical if you'd like to have different sites that are connected in some way. As an example, you can have an on-line store under the main domain along with a forum under a subdomain so as to supply means for your customers to ask questions and share opinions about your products. The best thing about employing a subdomain rather than a subfolder is that the websites will be separated, so you are able to update one of them or perform maintenance without affecting the other.
Subdomains in Shared Website Hosting
Our shared website hosting plans will enable you to create countless subdomains for any domain name hosted inside your account without any hassle. Assuming that the main domain address is added, it requires 2 clicks to set up a subdomain and pick what folder it will open (if different from the default one), set customized error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions, set a shared IP address or a dedicated one, and a lot more. All subdomains are going to be conveniently listed in alphabetical order under their main domain for effortless access and control. By right-clicking on any of them and by using fast access buttons you can see the error logs, visitor statistics or site files for that particular subdomain. We haven't set a restriction for the amount of subdomains that you can create with any of our plans, so you can have as many as you want.
