A subdomain is a website url, that's under a main, or a root domain name. One 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. apart from using the domain name as a part of the whole web address, a subdomain can be entirely independent and also hosted by a different company. Using a subdomain can be quite handy if you wish to have different websites that are connected in some way. As an example, you may have an on-line store under the main domain plus a forum under a subdomain so as to supply means for your clients to ask questions and / or share views regarding your products. The best thing about using a subdomain rather than a subfolder is that the sites will be separated, so you're able to update one of them or perform maintenance not affecting the other.
Subdomains in Cloud Web Hosting
Every single cloud web hosting plan we offer will allow you to create numerous subdomains with no more than a couple of mouse clicks in your web hosting CP. They are going to be listed in the area in which you create them and grouped under the main domain for more convenience, so you can effortlessly monitor every one of them. Additionally, you can access many functions for any of the subdomains through right-click context menus - for example, you can view or modify their DNS records, access the site files, plus much more. While creating a new subdomain, you'll also have a number of options that you can pick from - determine the default access folder, create customized error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions or select if the subdomain will use a shared or a dedicated IP address. How many subdomains you will have is entirely up to you since we have not limited this feature for any one of our plans.
Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Hosting
Using our semi-dedicated server plans, you're going to be able to create an unrestricted number of subdomains for any one of the domains that you add as hosted in the account. It's going to take a couple of mouse clicks to set up a new subdomain and in the process you will be able to add tailor-made error pages for it, pick if it will use a shared or a dedicated IP address, change the default folder that it will access or activate FrontPage Extensions. All subdomains you've got in the account will be arranged under their root domain in alphabetical order and you are going to be able to see and handle all of them with ease. By using quick access buttons and right-click menus you'll be able to jump to the site files in the File Manager section or check logs, visitor stats and other information about any one of your subdomains.
