A subdomain is part of a web address which is under the main domain name, such as name.example.com. Technically, even in www.example.com the "www" element is a subdomain since the fully qualified domain name is only "example.com". Every subdomain could have its own web site and records and can also be hosted using a different provider if you need to use a specific feature that isn't provided by your current provider. One example for using a subdomain is if you have a company site and an online store under a subdomain where clients can acquire your products. You can even have a forum in which they can talk about the products and by employing subdomains rather than subfolders you'll avoid any chance of all sites going down when you perform maintenance, or update one of the website scripts. Keeping the sites separated is more secure in the case of a script security breach.

Subdomains in Website Hosting

Our website hosting plans will permit you to create hundreds of subdomains for every domain hosted within your account without any problem. Provided that the main domain address is added, it will take 2 clicks to create a subdomain and pick what folder it'll open (if different from the default one), create unique error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions, set a shared IP address or a dedicated one, and a lot more. All subdomains will be conveniently listed in alphabetical order under their main domain for easy access and administration. By right-clicking on any of them and by using quick access buttons you can view the error logs, visitor statistics or site files for that specific subdomain. We have not set a limit for the total number of subdomains which you can create with any one of our plans, so you can have as many as you want.
