A subdomain is a part of a web address that is under the main domain, for instance name.example.com. Technically, even in www.example.com the "www" part is a subdomain since the fully qualified domain name is just "example.com". Every subdomain can have its own web site and records and can even be hosted using a different company if you wish to use a feature which is not offered by your current provider. A good example for using a subdomain is if you have a business website along with an online store under a subdomain where clients can acquire your products. In addition, you can have a forum in which they can talk about the products and by employing subdomains as opposed to subfolders you will avoid any risk of all websites going down if you perform maintenance, or update one of the site scripts. Keeping the sites separated is less risky in case of a script security breach.

Subdomains in Website Hosting

Our website hosting packages will permit you to create many subdomains for any domain name hosted in your account without any problem. Assuming that the main domain address is added, it will take 2 mouse clicks to set up a subdomain and pick what folder it will open (if different from the default one), set unique error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions, set a shared IP address or a dedicated one, and more. All subdomains will be conveniently listed in alphabetical order under their main domain for quick access and administration. 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 specific subdomain. We have not set a limit for the total number of subdomains that you can create with any of our plans, so you can have as many as you wish.
