A subdomain is a part of a web address that is under the main domain, for instance name.example.com. From a technical perspective, even in www.example.com the "www" element is a subdomain since the fully qualified domain name is just "example.com". Each subdomain could have its own website and records and can also be hosted with a different company if you need to use some feature that's not provided by your current provider. An example for using a subdomain is if you have a business website along with an online store under a subdomain where clients can acquire your products. You can even have a forum where they can talk about the products and by employing subdomains as an alternative to subfolders you'll avoid any chance of all sites going down when you perform maintenance, or update one of the site scripts. Keeping your sites separated is also more secure in case of a script security breach.

Subdomains in Website Hosting

Our website hosting packages will enable you to create many subdomains for every domain hosted inside your account without any problem. If the main domain is added, it requires two mouse clicks to set up a subdomain and pick what folder it'll 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 will be conveniently listed in alphabetical order under their main domain for effortless access and administration. By right-clicking on any of them and by using instant access buttons you can see the error logs, visitor statistics or site files for that specific subdomain. We haven't set a restriction for the total amount of subdomains which you can create with any of our plans, so you can have as many as you wish.

Using our semi-dedicated server plans, you'll be able to create an unrestricted number of subdomains for any one of the domains you add as hosted in the account.

By using quick access buttons and right-click menus you'll also be able to jump to the website files within the File Manager area or see logs, visitor stats and other info about any one of your subdomains.
