A subdomain is a part of a web address which is under the main domain name, for example name.example.com. Technically, even in www.example.com the "www" element is a subdomain given that the fully qualified domain name is only "example.com". Every subdomain could have its own web site and records and can even be hosted through a different company if you wish to use a specific feature which isn't offered by your current provider. One example for using a subdomain is if you have a company site along with an online store under a subdomain where clients can buy your products. You can also have a forum where they can discuss the products and by using subdomains rather than subfolders you are going to avoid any risk of all websites going down if you perform maintenance, or update one of the site scripts. Keeping your sites separated is also more secure in the case of a script security breach.

Subdomains in Cloud Hosting

Our cloud hosting packages will permit you to set up many subdomains for every domain hosted in your account without any problem. Provided that the main domain is added, it takes 2 mouse clicks to set up a subdomain and choose what folder it will open (if different from the default one), create custom error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions, set a shared IP address or a dedicated one, plus much more. All subdomains are going to be conveniently listed in alphabetical order under their main domain for quick access and management. By right-clicking on any of them and by using quick access buttons you can view the error logs, visitor statistics or website files for that particular subdomain. We haven't set a limit for the total number of subdomains which you can create with any of our plans, so you can have as many as you want.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Through our semi-dedicated server plans, you will be able to create an unlimited number of subdomains for any one of the domains that you add as hosted in the account. It takes a couple of mouse clicks to set up a new subdomain and during the process you'll be able to add tailor-made error pages for it, select if it will use a shared or a dedicated IP address, change the default folder that it'll access or activate FrontPage Extensions. All subdomains you have within the account are going to be arranged under their root domain from a to z and you're going to be able to see and manage all of them with ease. Via fast access buttons and right-click menus you will also be able to jump to the site files within the File Manager area or see logs, visitor statistics and other information about any of your subdomains.
