A subdomain is a part of a web address which is under the main domain name, for example name.example.com. Actually, even in www.example.com the "www" element is a subdomain given that the fully qualified domain name is only "example.com". Every single subdomain could have its own website and records and can also be hosted with a different company if you need to use a certain feature which is not provided by your current service provider. One example for using a subdomain is if you have a business website and an online store under a subdomain where clients can acquire your products. Additionally, you can have a forum where they can discuss the products and by using subdomains as opposed to subfolders you will avoid any risk of all sites going down when you perform maintenance, or update one of the site scripts. Keeping your sites separated is more secure in case there is a script security breach.

Subdomains in Shared Website Hosting

Each shared website hosting plan we supply will permit you to create numerous subdomains with no more than a couple of mouse clicks inside your website hosting Control Panel. They're going to be listed in the section in which you create them and arranged under the main domain for more convenience, so that you can effortlessly monitor every one of them. Additionally, you can access a lot of functions for any one of the subdomains using right-click context menus - for instance, you can view or edit their DNS records, access the site files, plus much more. While creating a new subdomain, you'll also have numerous options that you can choose from - define the default access folder, set custom error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions or pick if the subdomain is going to use a shared or a dedicated IP address. The amount of subdomains you will have is 100 % up to you because we haven't restricted this feature for any of our plans.
