A subdomain is a web address, which is under a main, or a root domain name. An example is something.domain.com, in which domain.com is the main domain name, while "something" is the subdomain below it. Every single subdomain can have its own site and records i.e. apart from employing the domain name as part of the whole web address, a subdomain can be entirely independent and also hosted by a separate provider. Using a subdomain can be very beneficial if you want to have different sites that are related in some way. For instance, you may have an online store under the main domain as well as a forum under a subdomain in order to offer means for your customers to ask questions and share thoughts about your products. The advantage of using a subdomain as opposed to a subfolder is that the sites will be separated, so you can update one of them or perform maintenance without affecting the other.

Subdomains in Cloud Web Hosting

Our cloud web hosting plans will permit you to create numerous subdomains for every domain address hosted inside your account without any hassle. Provided that the main domain name is added, it will take two mouse clicks to create a subdomain and select what folder it'll 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 are going to be conveniently listed in alphabetical order under their main domain for easy access and control. By right-clicking on any 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 restriction for the total number of subdomains that you can create with any one of our plans, so you can have as many as you want.
