A subdomain is a web address, which is 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 subdomain can have its own site and records i.e. aside from employing the domain name as a part of the whole web address, a subdomain can be entirely independent and even hosted by a separate service provider. Using a subdomain can be very useful if you wish to have different sites which are associated in some way. For example, you could have an on-line store under the main domain plus a forum under a subdomain so as to offer means for your clients to ask questions and / or share thoughts regarding your products. The benefit of using a subdomain instead of a subfolder is that the web sites will be separated, so you can update one of them or perform maintenance not affecting the other.

Subdomains in Cloud Hosting

Our cloud hosting plans will enable you to create countless subdomains for any domain hosted inside your account without any difficulty. If the main domain name is added, it will take two mouse clicks to set up a subdomain and select what folder it will open (if different from the default one), set customized error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions, set a shared IP address or a dedicated one, plus much more. All subdomains are going to be conveniently listed in alphabetical order under their main domain for effortless access and management. By right-clicking on any of them and by using quick access buttons you can view the error logs, visitor statistics or site files for that specific subdomain. We have not set a restriction for the total number of subdomains which you can create with any of our plans, so you can have as many as you wish.
