A subdomain is a part of a web address which is under the main domain, for instance name.example.com. From a technical perspective, even in www.example.com the "www" part is a subdomain given that the fully qualified domain name is only "example.com". Each subdomain could have its own site and records and can also be hosted through a different company if you want to use a specific feature that isn't provided by your current provider. A good example for using a subdomain is if you have a business site and an online store under a subdomain where customers can purchase your products. You can even have a forum in which they can talk about the products and by employing subdomains as opposed to subfolders you'll avoid any chance of all websites going down when you perform maintenance, or update one of the site scripts. Keeping the websites separated is also more secure in the event of a script security breach.

Subdomains in Hosting

Our hosting plans will allow you to set up numerous subdomains for every domain name hosted inside your account without any hassle. If the main domain address is added, it requires two mouse clicks to create a subdomain and pick what folder it's going to open (if different from the default one), set unique 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 convenient access and control. 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 particular subdomain. We have not set a limit for the amount of subdomains you can create with any of our plans, so you can have as many as you wish.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Hosting

With our semi-dedicated server plans, you're going to be able to create an unrestricted amount of subdomains for any of the domains which you add as hosted in the account. It's going to take a couple of clicks to create a new subdomain and throughout the process you're going to be able to to add custom-made error pages for it, select if it will use a shared or a dedicated IP address, change the default folder that it will access or activate FrontPage Extensions. All subdomains you have in the account will be arranged under their root domain in alphabetical order and you will be able to see and handle all of them with ease. Through fast access buttons and right-click menus you'll also be able to jump to the website files in the File Manager section or view logs, visitor stats and other info about any one of your subdomains.
