A subdomain is part of a web address that is under the main domain, for example name.example.com. Actually, even in www.example.com the "www" part is a subdomain because the fully qualified domain name is just "example.com". Every single subdomain could have its own website and records and can also be hosted with a different company if you wish to use some feature that isn't provided by your current provider. One example for using a subdomain is if you have a business site as well as an online store under a subdomain where customers can acquire your products. In addition, you can have a forum in which they can comment on the products and by employing subdomains as opposed to subfolders you will avoid any probability of all websites going down when you perform maintenance, or update one of the site scripts. Keeping the websites separated is less risky in the case of a script security breach.

Subdomains in Cloud Website Hosting

With our cloud website hosting packages you are going to be able to create subdomains with a couple of clicks in your website hosting CP. All of them are going to be listed in a single place along with the domain addresses hosted in the account and grouped under their own domain so as to make their administration simpler. No matter the plan that you pick, you're going to be able to create many subdomains and set their access folder or create custom error pages during the process. You'll have access to lots of functions for any of them with only a click, so from the very same section in which you create them you can access their DNS records, files, visitor statistics, etc. As opposed to other providers, we haven't limited the amount of subdomains that you can have even if you host just one domain name within the account.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers

Through our semi-dedicated server plans, you're going to be able to create an unlimited number of subdomains for any one of the domains that you add as hosted in the account. It's going to take a few clicks to set up a new subdomain and in the process you are going to be able to add custom-made error pages for it, choose if it will use a shared or a dedicated IP address, change the default folder that it'll access or activate FrontPage Extensions. All subdomains that you have in the account will be arranged under their root domain from a to z and you'll be able to see and handle all of them without difficulty. Using fast access buttons and right-click menus you'll be able to jump to the site files inside the File Manager section or view logs, visitor stats and other info about any one of your subdomains.
