A subdomain is a web address, that is under a main, or a root domain. An example is something.domain.com, in which domain.com is the main domain name, while "something" is the subdomain below it. Each and every subdomain can have its own website and records i.e. aside from employing the domain name as part of the whole web address, a subdomain can be completely independent and even hosted by a separate provider. Using a subdomain can be quite practical if you'd like to have different sites that are related in some way. For example, you may have an on-line store under the main domain and a forum under a subdomain so as to supply means for your clients to ask questions and share opinions about your products. The advantage of employing a subdomain rather than a subfolder is that the sites are going to be separated, so you can update one of them or perform maintenance not affecting the other.

Subdomains in Cloud Hosting

Every single cloud hosting plan which we offer will allow you to create many subdomains with no more than a few clicks within your web hosting CP. They'll all be listed in the section where you create them and grouped under the main domain for more convenience, so that you're able to effortlessly monitor all of them. Furthermore, you can access a lot of functions for any one of the subdomains through right-click context menus - as an example, you can view or change their DNS records, access the site files, and more. While creating a new subdomain, you're also going to have lots of options that you can pick from - specify the default access folder, create unique error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions or select if the subdomain is going to use a shared or a dedicated IP address. How many subdomains you will have is entirely up to you because we haven't limited this feature for any one of our packages.
