A subdomain is a web address, that is 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. Every subdomain can have its own website and records i.e. apart from using the domain name as a part of the whole web address, a subdomain can be completely independent and even hosted by a separate provider. Using a subdomain can be quite beneficial if you wish to have different websites that are associated in some way. For example, you may have an online store under the main domain as well as a forum under a subdomain in order to supply means for your customers to ask questions and / or share views regarding your products. The advantage of 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 not affecting the other.
Subdomains in Cloud Website Hosting
Our cloud website hosting packages will permit you to create hundreds of subdomains for every domain address hosted in your account without any problem. Assuming that the main domain address is added, it will take two mouse clicks to set up a subdomain and pick what folder it's going to open (if different from the default one), create unique error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions, set a shared IP address or a dedicated one, and a lot more. All subdomains are going to 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 quick access buttons you can see the error logs, visitor statistics or website files for that specific subdomain. We have not set a restriction for the amount of subdomains you can create with any one of our plans, so you can have as many as you wish.
