A subdomain is a part of a web address which is under the main domain name, for instance name.example.com. From a technical perspective, even in www.example.com the "www" part is a subdomain since the fully qualified domain name is only "example.com". Every single subdomain can have its own web site and records and can even be hosted through a different company if you need to use a feature that's not offered by your current service provider. One example for using a subdomain is if you have a business site along with an online store under a subdomain where customers can purchase your products. You can even have a forum where they can comment on the products and by employing subdomains as an alternative to subfolders you'll avoid any chance of all websites going down if you perform maintenance, or update one of the website scripts. Keeping your sites separated is also less risky in the case of a script security breach.

Subdomains in Cloud Hosting

Our cloud hosting packages will enable you to set up many subdomains for every domain hosted in your account without any hassle. If the main domain name is added, it takes 2 mouse clicks to create a subdomain and choose what folder it's going to open (if different from the default one), set custom error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions, set a shared IP address or a dedicated one, and more. All subdomains are going to be conveniently listed in alphabetical order under their main domain for effortless access and control. By right-clicking on any of them and by using instant 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 amount of subdomains that you can create with any of our plans, so you can have as many as you want.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you get a semi-dedicated server plan, you are going to be able to create as many subdomains as you wish since this feature is unlimited. Considering that the web hosting plans are quite powerful, we've decided not to put any limit on the number of subdomains.

To make it easier for you, all the subdomains are going to be listed under their root domain, so that you can easily see and control them. With quick access links, you'll be able to open the site files for any of the subdomains that you have or view its DNS records.
