A subdomain is part of a web address which is under the main domain name, such as name.example.com. Actually, even in www.example.com the "www" element is a subdomain because the fully qualified domain name is only "example.com". Each subdomain could have its own web site and records and can even be hosted using a different provider if you want to use a feature which is not provided by your current service provider. One example for using a subdomain is if you have a company website as well as an online store under a subdomain where customers can acquire your products. Additionally, you can have a forum where they can comment on the products and by using subdomains as an alternative to subfolders you are going to avoid any probability of all websites going down when you perform maintenance, or update one of the website scripts. Keeping your websites separated is less risky in the case of a script security breach.

Subdomains in Web Hosting

Each web hosting package which we provide will allow you to create hundreds of subdomains with no more than a couple of clicks within your hosting Control Panel. They'll all be listed in the area in which you create them and arranged under the main domain for more convenience, so you can effortlessly keep tabs on every one of them. Furthermore, you can access lots of functions for any one of the subdomains through right-click context menus - for instance, you can view or edit their DNS records, access the website files, plus much more. While setting up a new subdomain, you will also have many options that you can choose from - specify the default access folder, create custom error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions or select if the subdomain is going to use a shared or a dedicated IP address. The number of subdomains you will have is totally up to you as we have not restricted this feature for any of our packages.
