A subdomain is a website url, which is under a main, or a root domain name. An example is something.domain.com, in which domain.com is the main domain name, 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 fully independent and even hosted by a separate service provider. Employing a subdomain can be quite practical if you'd like to have different sites that are connected in some way. For example, you can have a web-based store under the main domain along with a forum under a subdomain so as to offer means for your clients to ask questions or share thoughts about your products. The best thing about using a subdomain rather than a subfolder is that the websites will be separated, so you're able to update one of them or perform maintenance without affecting the other.

Subdomains in Shared Web Hosting

Our shared web hosting plans will permit you to set up many subdomains for any domain address hosted in your account without any difficulty. Provided that the main domain name is added, it requires 2 mouse clicks to create a subdomain and select what folder it's going to open (if different from the default one), set customized error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions, set a shared IP address or a dedicated one, and much more. All subdomains will be conveniently listed in alphabetical order under their main domain for effortless access and administration. By right-clicking on any one of them and by using fast access buttons you can see the error logs, visitor statistics or site files for that specific subdomain. We have not set a limit for the total number of subdomains that you can create with any of our plans, so you can have as many as you wish.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers

Using our semi-dedicated server plans, you will be able to create an unrestricted number of subdomains for any of the domains which you add as hosted in the account. It will take a couple of mouse clicks to set up a new subdomain and in the process you'll be able to add custom error pages for it, choose if it will use a shared or a dedicated IP address, change the default folder that it will access or activate FrontPage Extensions. All subdomains you have in the account will be arranged under their root domain from a to z and you're going to be able to see and manage all of them with ease. By using instant access buttons and right-click menus you'll be able to jump to the website files within the File Manager section or check logs, visitor stats and other info about any one of your subdomains.
