A subdomain is a website address, that is under a main, or a root domain. An example is something.domain.com, where domain.com is the main domain name, while "something" is the subdomain below it. Every single subdomain can have its own site 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 provider. Employing a subdomain could be very handy if you want to have different websites that are related in some way. For example, you could have an online store under the main domain and a forum under a subdomain in order to provide means for your clients to ask questions or share experiences about your products. The best thing about using a subdomain instead of a subfolder is that the sites are going to be separated, so you can update one of them or perform maintenance without affecting the other.
Subdomains in Shared Hosting
Each and every shared hosting plan we offer will allow you to create hundreds of subdomains with no more than a few mouse clicks within your hosting Control Panel. They're going to be listed in the area where you create them and arranged under the main domain for more convenience, so you can very easily keep an eye on them all. Additionally, you can access a lot of functions for any of the subdomains via right-click context menus - as an example, you can view or change their DNS records, access the website files, and a lot more. While creating a new subdomain, you will also have many options that you can pick from - define the default access folder, create customized error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions or decide if the subdomain will use a shared or a dedicated IP address. The amount of subdomains you will have is 100 % up to you as we haven't restricted this feature for any of our packages.
