A subdomain is a website address, that's under a main, or a root domain. An example is something.domain.com, where domain.com is the main domain address, while "something" is the subdomain below it. Each subdomain can have its own website and records i.e. aside from using the domain name as part of the whole web address, a subdomain can be completely independent and also hosted by a different provider. Employing a subdomain can be quite practical if you wish to have different web sites which are related in some way. For instance, you may have an on-line store under the main domain along with a forum under a subdomain so as to provide means for your clients to ask questions and share opinions about your products. The advantage of using a subdomain as opposed to a subfolder is that the web sites will be separated, so you are able to update one of them or perform maintenance without affecting the other.

Subdomains in Cloud Web Hosting

Every cloud web hosting package we offer will enable you to create numerous subdomains with no more than a couple of mouse clicks inside your web hosting Control Panel. They're going to be listed in the section where you create them and grouped under the main domain for more convenience, so that you can easily keep tabs on all of them. In addition, you can access lots of functions for any one of the subdomains through right-click context menus - as an example, you can view or modify their DNS records, access the site files, plus much more. While setting up a new subdomain, you are also going to have a number of options that you can select from - determine the default access folder, create unique error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions or select if the subdomain will use a shared or a dedicated IP address. What number of subdomains you are going to have is entirely up to you because we have not limited this feature for any of our plans.
