A subdomain is a web address, 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 website and records i.e. apart 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. Employing a subdomain can be very useful if you wish to have different web sites that are connected in some way. For example, you may have an online store under the main domain along with a forum under a subdomain so as to provide means for your clients to ask questions and / or share experiences regarding your products. The main advantage of employing a subdomain as opposed to a subfolder is that the sites are going to be separated, so that you can update one of them or perform maintenance without affecting the other.
Subdomains in Shared Hosting
Our shared hosting packages will enable you to set up numerous subdomains for any domain hosted inside your account without any hassle. Assuming that the main domain name is added, it requires two mouse clicks to set up a subdomain and pick what folder it's going to open (if different from the default one), set custom 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 convenient access and administration. By right-clicking on any of them and by using quick access buttons you can view the error logs, visitor statistics or website files for that specific subdomain. We have not set a restriction for the total amount of subdomains you can create with any one of our plans, so you can have as many as you wish.
Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers
Using our semi-dedicated server plans, you're 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 will take a couple of clicks to set up a new subdomain and during the process you will 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'll access or activate FrontPage Extensions. All subdomains you've got inside the account will be arranged under their root domain in alphabetical order and you will be able to see and handle them without difficulty. Using fast access buttons and right-click menus you'll be able to jump to the website files inside the File Manager section or see logs, visitor stats and other information about any of your subdomains.
