A subdomain is a part of a web address that's under the main domain, for instance name.example.com. From a technical perspective, even in www.example.com the "www" element is a subdomain because the fully qualified domain name is only "example.com". Each subdomain can have its own site and records and can also be hosted using a different company if you wish to use a certain feature that's not offered by your current provider. An illustration for using a subdomain is if you have a company site as well as an online store under a subdomain where customers can buy your products. Additionally, you can have a forum in which they can comment on the products and by employing subdomains as opposed to subfolders you are going to avoid any chance of all sites going down when you perform maintenance, or update one of the site scripts. Keeping your sites separated is also more secure in the event of a script security breach.

Subdomains in Cloud Hosting

Every cloud hosting package which we offer will allow you to create hundreds of subdomains with no more than a few clicks inside your web hosting CP. They are going to be listed in the area where you create them and grouped under the main domain for more convenience, so that you can very easily monitor them all. Additionally, you can access lots of functions for any one of the subdomains via right-click context menus - for example, you can view or change their DNS records, access the website files, plus much more. While setting up a new subdomain, you're also going to have a number of options that you can pick from - determine the default access folder, create customized error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions or select if the subdomain will use a shared or a dedicated IP address. The number of subdomains you'll have is entirely up to you since we have not restricted this feature for any of our packages.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers

Our semi-dedicated service do not have a set limit for the number of subdomains you can create.

When the subdomain is set up, you can access logs and visitor stats or swiftly jump to the site files for it in the File Manager area via instant access buttons. All subdomains you have inside the account are going to be conveniently listed under their root domain, so you're going to be able to find and handle any one of them with ease.
