A subdomain is a web address, which is under a main, or a root domain. One example is something.domain.com, where domain.com is the main domain name, while "something" is the subdomain below it. Each and every subdomain can have its own site 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 different company. Employing a subdomain can be very beneficial if you'd like to have different web sites which are connected in some way. For example, you could have a web-based store under the main domain plus a forum under a subdomain so as to supply means for your clients to ask questions and share thoughts concerning your products. The main advantage of using a subdomain as opposed to a subfolder is that the websites are going to be separated, so that you can update one of them or perform maintenance without affecting the other.
Subdomains in Website Hosting
Every website hosting package we provide will permit you to create numerous subdomains with no more than a few mouse clicks in your web hosting CP. They will all be listed in the section in which you create them and arranged under the main domain for more convenience, to help you very easily keep tabs on them all. Furthermore, you can access a lot of functions for any of the subdomains through right-click context menus - as an example, you can view or modify their DNS records, access the website files, plus much more. While setting up a new subdomain, you're also going to have numerous options that you can pick from - determine the default access folder, create unique error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions or select if the subdomain will use a shared or a dedicated IP address. The amount of subdomains you are going to have is 100 % up to you since we have not restricted this feature for any one of our plans.
