A subdomain is a web address, that is under a main, or a root domain. One example is something.domain.com, in which domain.com is the main domain address, while "something" is the subdomain below it. Each and every subdomain can have its own site and records i.e. apart from employing the domain name as part of the whole web address, a subdomain can be fully independent and even hosted by a separate service provider. Employing a subdomain can be quite practical if you'd like to have different sites which are connected in some way. For instance, you may have an online store under the main domain plus a forum under a subdomain so as to supply means for your customers to ask questions and / or share opinions concerning your products. The advantage of using a subdomain as opposed to a subfolder is that the websites will be separated, so you're able to update one of them or perform maintenance not affecting the other.

Subdomains in Cloud Web Hosting

Every cloud web hosting package we provide will permit you to create many subdomains with no more than a couple of mouse clicks within your hosting Control Panel. They're going to be listed in the area where you create them and arranged under the main domain for more convenience, so you can very easily keep tabs on them all. Additionally, you can access lots of functions for any one of the subdomains through right-click context menus - for example, you can view or modify their DNS records, access the site files, and more. While creating a new subdomain, you are also going to have many options that you can pick from - specify the default access folder, create customized error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions or select if the subdomain will use a shared or a dedicated IP address. What number of subdomains you will have is completely up to you because we haven't limited this feature for any of our plans.
