A subdomain is a website address, which is under a main, or a root domain. An example is something.domain.com, in which domain.com is the main domain, while "something" is the subdomain below it. Every single 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 also hosted by a different provider. Using a subdomain can be quite beneficial if you wish to have different web sites that are related in some way. As an example, you could have an on-line store under the main domain plus a forum under a subdomain so as to provide means for your clients to ask questions and share opinions regarding your products. The benefit of employing a subdomain instead of a subfolder is that the sites will be separated, so you can update one of them or perform maintenance without affecting the other.

Subdomains in Shared Hosting

Each shared hosting package we provide will enable you to create hundreds of subdomains with no more than a few mouse clicks inside your website hosting CP. They'll all be listed in the area in which you create them and arranged under the main domain for more convenience, to help you effortlessly keep tabs on them all. Additionally, you can access many functions for any one of the subdomains via right-click context menus - as an example, you can view or change their DNS records, access the site files, and a lot more. While creating a new subdomain, you are also going to have lots of options that you can select from - determine the default access folder, set custom error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions or decide if the subdomain is going to use a shared or a dedicated IP address. The amount of subdomains you'll have is 100 % up to you as we haven't restricted this feature for any one of our packages.

To make it easier for you, all the subdomains are going to be listed under their root domain, so that you can effortlessly see and manage them. With quick access links, you'll also be able to open the site files for any one of the subdomains that you have or view its DNS records.
