A subdomain is a website url, which is under a main, or a root domain name. An example is something.domain.com, in which domain.com is the main domain, while "something" is the subdomain below it. Every single subdomain can have its own website and records i.e. aside from using the domain name as part of the whole web address, a subdomain can be fully independent and also hosted by a separate company. Using a subdomain could be very practical if you'd like to have different web sites which are related in some way. For example, you can have a web-based store under the main domain along with a forum under a subdomain so as to provide means for your customers to ask questions or share views about your products. The benefit of using a subdomain rather than a subfolder is that the web sites will be separated, so you are able to update one of them or perform maintenance without affecting the other.

Subdomains in Cloud Website Hosting

Each and every cloud website hosting package that we provide will permit you to create many subdomains with no more than a few clicks in your hosting CP. They will all be listed in the area where you create them and arranged under the main domain for more convenience, so that you're able to effortlessly keep track of all of them. Furthermore, you can access a lot of functions for any one of the subdomains through right-click context menus - as an example, you can view or modify their DNS records, access the website files, and more. While creating a new subdomain, you're also going to have a number of options that you can select from - determine the default access folder, create unique error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions or choose if the subdomain will use a shared or a dedicated IP address. The amount of subdomains you will have is completely up to you since we have not limited this feature for any of our plans.

Even if you create a great number of subdomains, you're going to be able to keep track of them with ease because they are going to be listed in alphabetical order below their main domain. For any of them, you can even access the site files or check out logs and usage stats via fast access buttons.
