A subdomain is a website url, that is under a main, or a root domain name. One example is something.domain.com, where domain.com is the main domain address, while "something" is the subdomain below it. Each subdomain can have its own site and records i.e. aside from using the domain name as a part of the whole web address, a subdomain can be totally independent and even hosted by a different company. Using a subdomain could be very handy if you'd like to have different web sites that are associated in some way. For instance, you may have a web-based store under the main domain along with a forum under a subdomain so as to offer means for your customers to ask questions or share views concerning your products. The best thing about using a subdomain instead of a subfolder is that the web sites will be separated, so you can update one of them or perform maintenance without affecting the other.

Subdomains in Hosting

Our hosting packages will enable you to create numerous subdomains for every domain name hosted in your account without any difficulty. If the main domain name is added, it will take two mouse clicks to set up a subdomain and pick what folder it'll open (if different from the default one), create unique 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 convenient access and control. By right-clicking on any one of them and by using instant access buttons you can view the error logs, visitor statistics or website files for that specific subdomain. We haven't set a limit for the amount of subdomains which you can create with any one of our plans, so you can have as many as you wish.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers

With our semi-dedicated server plans, you are going to be able to create an unlimited amount of subdomains for any of the domains which you add as hosted in the account. It's going to take a few clicks to set up a new subdomain and throughout the process you'll be able to add custom-made error pages for it, decide if it will use a shared or a dedicated IP address, change the default folder that it'll access or activate FrontPage Extensions. All subdomains you have inside the account are going to be arranged under their root domain in alphabetical order and you will be able to see and manage all of them with ease. Via quick access buttons and right-click menus you will also be able to jump to the site files inside the File Manager section or see logs, visitor stats and other information about any one of your subdomains.
