A subdomain is a website url, which is under a main, or a root domain. An illustration is something.domain.com, where domain.com is the main domain, while "something" is the subdomain below it. Each and every 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 totally independent and also hosted by a separate service provider. Using a subdomain can be extremely beneficial if you wish to have different web sites that are connected in some way. As an example, you may have an on-line store under the main domain plus a forum under a subdomain in order to provide means for your customers to ask questions and share views regarding your products. The benefit of employing a subdomain instead of a subfolder is that the sites will be separated, so that you can update one of them or perform maintenance without affecting the other.
Subdomains in Cloud Hosting
Our cloud hosting packages will allow you to set up many subdomains for any domain hosted inside your account without any difficulty. Provided that the main domain address is added, it will take 2 clicks to set up a subdomain and choose what folder it'll open (if different from the default one), create 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 effortless access and administration. By right-clicking on any one of them and by using fast access buttons you can see the error logs, visitor statistics or website files for that particular subdomain. We haven't set a restriction for the amount of subdomains you can create with any one of our plans, so you can have as many as you wish.
