A subdomain is a website url, that's under a main, or a root domain. An 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 employing the domain name as part of the whole web address, a subdomain can be completely independent and even hosted by a different provider. Employing a subdomain could be very handy if you'd like to have different websites which are connected in some way. For example, you could have an online 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 regarding your products. The main advantage of using a subdomain instead of a subfolder is that the websites are going to be separated, so you are able to update one of them or perform maintenance not affecting the other.

Subdomains in Cloud Web Hosting

Our cloud web hosting packages will allow you to set up many subdomains for every domain hosted inside your account without any difficulty. As long as the main domain is added, it will take two mouse clicks to set up a subdomain and select what folder it will 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 are going to be conveniently listed in alphabetical order under their main domain for effortless access and management. By right-clicking on any of them and by using instant access buttons you can view the error logs, visitor statistics or site files for that specific subdomain. We haven't set a limit for the total amount of subdomains which you can create with any of our plans, so you can have as many as you want.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers

Through 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 clicks to create a new subdomain and in the process you'll be able to add custom-made error pages for it, select if it will use a shared or a dedicated IP, change the default folder that it'll access or activate FrontPage Extensions. All subdomains that you have inside the account are going to be grouped under their root domain from a to z and you are going to be able to see and manage them without difficulty. Via instant access buttons and right-click menus you'll also be able to jump to the site files in the File Manager area or see logs, visitor statistics and other info about any one of your subdomains.
