A subdomain is a website url, that's under a main, or a root domain name. One example is something.domain.com, in which domain.com is the main domain address, while "something" is the subdomain below it. Each subdomain can have its own website and records i.e. apart from employing the domain name as a part of the whole web address, a subdomain can be completely independent and even hosted by a different provider. Employing a subdomain can be very beneficial if you'd like to have different sites which are connected in some way. For example, you could have an online store under the main domain plus a forum under a subdomain so as to supply means for your clients to ask questions and share thoughts about your products. The main advantage of employing a subdomain rather than a subfolder is that the web sites are going to be separated, so that you can update one of them or perform maintenance without affecting the other.

Subdomains in Cloud Hosting

Each and every cloud hosting package which we offer will allow you to create many subdomains with no more than a couple of mouse clicks in your hosting CP. They will all be listed in the section in which you create them and grouped under the main domain for more convenience, so you can very easily keep tabs on all of them. In addition, you can access a lot of functions for any one of the subdomains via right-click context menus - for instance, you can view or edit their DNS records, access the site files, plus much more. While setting up a new subdomain, you will also have numerous options that you can select from - determine the default access folder, create custom error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions or select if the subdomain will use a shared or a dedicated IP address. The number of subdomains you are going to have is 100 % up to you since we haven't restricted this feature for any of our packages.
