A subdomain is a website url, which is under a main, or a root domain. An example is something.domain.com, where domain.com is the main domain address, while "something" is the subdomain below it. Each and every subdomain can have its own website and records i.e. apart from employing the domain name as part of the whole web address, a subdomain can be totally independent and even hosted by a separate service provider. Employing a subdomain can be very useful if you want to have different sites that are associated in some way. For example, you could have an online store under the main domain plus a forum under a subdomain in order to provide means for your customers to ask questions and / or share experiences concerning your products. The main advantage of using a subdomain instead of a subfolder is that the sites will be separated, so that you can update one of them or perform maintenance not affecting the other.

Subdomains in Shared Website Hosting

Our shared website hosting packages will allow you to set up numerous subdomains for every domain name hosted inside your account without any hassle. Assuming that the main domain is added, it will take two mouse clicks to create a subdomain and pick what folder it's going to open (if different from the default one), set customized error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions, set a shared IP address or a dedicated one, and a lot more. All subdomains are going to be conveniently listed in alphabetical order under their main domain for quick access and control. By right-clicking on any one of them and by using instant access buttons you can see the error logs, visitor statistics or website files for that specific subdomain. We haven't set a restriction for the total number of subdomains that you can create with any of our plans, so you can have as many as you need.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Through our semi-dedicated server plans, you will be able to create an unrestricted number of subdomains for any one of the domains which you add as hosted in the account. It's going to take a couple of clicks to set up a new subdomain and during the process you're going to be able to to add custom error pages for it, choose if it will use a shared or a dedicated IP, change the default folder that it will access or activate FrontPage Extensions. All subdomains that you have in the account are going to be grouped under their root domain from a to z and you'll be able to see and handle all of them with ease. Using quick access buttons and right-click menus you'll be able to jump to the website files within the File Manager section or view logs, visitor stats and other information about any one of your subdomains.
