A subdomain is a website address, which is under a main, or a root domain name. An illustration is something.domain.com, in which domain.com is the main domain, while "something" is the subdomain below it. Each subdomain can have its own site and records i.e. aside from employing the domain name as part of the whole web address, a subdomain can be entirely independent and even hosted by a different provider. Employing a subdomain can be very practical if you wish to have different sites which are associated in some way. For example, you may have an on-line store under the main domain as well as a forum under a subdomain so as to offer means for your clients to ask questions and / or share experiences regarding your products. The benefit of using a subdomain rather than a subfolder is that the web sites will be separated, so you can update one of them or perform maintenance without affecting the other.
Subdomains in Cloud Web Hosting
Each cloud web hosting plan we offer will permit you to create hundreds of subdomains with no more than a few clicks in your website hosting Control Panel. They are going to be listed in the area where you create them and arranged under the main domain for more convenience, so you can effortlessly keep track of every one of them. Furthermore, you can access lots of functions for any one of the subdomains using right-click context menus - for example, you can view or edit their DNS records, access the website files, and a lot more. While setting up a new subdomain, you will also have lots of options that you can choose from - specify the default access folder, set customized error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions or decide if the subdomain is going to use a shared or a dedicated IP address. The amount of subdomains you'll have is totally up to you as we haven't limited this feature for any of our plans.
