A subdomain is a website url, that is under a main, or a root domain. One example is something.domain.com, in which domain.com is the main domain name, while "something" is the subdomain below it. Every subdomain can have its own website and records i.e. aside from using the domain name as a part of the whole web address, a subdomain can be fully independent and even hosted by a separate company. Using a subdomain can be quite beneficial if you'd like to have different sites that are associated in some way. As an example, you may have a web-based store under the main domain as well as a forum under a subdomain in order to supply means for your clients to ask questions and / or share opinions regarding your products. The advantage of using a subdomain rather than a subfolder is that the websites are going to be separated, so that you can update one of them or perform maintenance not affecting the other.

Subdomains in Shared Website Hosting

Our shared website hosting packages will allow you to set up countless subdomains for any domain address hosted inside your account without any difficulty. As long as the main domain is added, it takes 2 clicks to create a subdomain and select what folder it will open (if different from the default one), create custom error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions, set a shared IP address or a dedicated one, and more. All subdomains will be conveniently listed in alphabetical order under their main domain for convenient access and management. By right-clicking on any one 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 that you can create with any of our plans, so you can have as many as you want.
