A subdomain is part of a web address that is under the main domain name, such as name.example.com. Technically, even in www.example.com the "www" part is a subdomain because the fully qualified domain name is only "example.com". Every single subdomain can have its own site and records and can even be hosted through a different provider if you want to use a specific feature which is not offered by your current service provider. An example for using a subdomain is if you have a business site along with an online store under a subdomain where customers can purchase your products. You can also have a forum in which they can comment on the products and by employing subdomains rather than subfolders you will avoid any probability of all websites going down when you perform maintenance, or update one of the site scripts. Keeping the sites separated is also less risky in the case of a script security breach.

Subdomains in Cloud Hosting

Our cloud hosting packages will allow you to create many subdomains for every domain address hosted inside your account without any problem. If the main domain is added, it requires 2 mouse clicks to create a subdomain and select what folder it's going to open (if different from the default one), create customized error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions, set a shared IP address or a dedicated one, and much more. All subdomains are going to be conveniently listed in alphabetical order under their main domain for quick 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 website files for that particular subdomain. We haven't set a limit for the total amount of subdomains that you can create with any of our plans, so you can have as many as you want.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers

Through our semi-dedicated server plans, you will be able to create an unrestricted number of subdomains for any one of the domains which you add as hosted in the account. It takes a few clicks to create a new subdomain and during the process you are going to be able to add custom error pages for it, choose if it will use a shared or a dedicated IP, change the default folder that it'll access or activate FrontPage Extensions. All subdomains you have within the account are going to be arranged under their root domain from a to z and you are going to be able to see and handle all of them with ease. By using instant access buttons and right-click menus you'll be able to jump to the site files in the File Manager area or view logs, visitor stats and other info about any one of your subdomains.
