A subdomain is a website address, that's under a main, or a root domain. One example is something.domain.com, where domain.com is the main domain name, while "something" is the subdomain below it. Each and every subdomain can have its own website and records i.e. apart from using the domain name as part of the whole web address, a subdomain can be entirely independent and also hosted by a separate company. Employing a subdomain can be extremely handy if you'd like to have different web sites which are connected in some way. As an example, you may have an online store under the main domain and a forum under a subdomain in order to offer means for your customers to ask questions or share views concerning your products. The benefit of employing a subdomain as opposed to a subfolder is that the websites are going to be separated, so you're able to update one of them or perform maintenance not affecting the other.
Subdomains in Shared Website Hosting
Each and every shared website hosting plan which we offer will permit you to create many subdomains with no more than a few mouse clicks within your web hosting CP. They're going to be listed in the area where you create them and arranged under the main domain for more convenience, so that you can effortlessly monitor all of them. Furthermore, you can access many functions for any one of the subdomains using right-click context menus - as an example, you can view or change their DNS records, access the site files, plus much more. While creating a new subdomain, you're also going to have a number of options that you can pick from - determine the default access folder, create custom error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions or pick if the subdomain will use a shared or a dedicated IP address. How many subdomains you'll have is completely up to you as we have not restricted this feature for any of our packages.
