A subdomain is part of a web address which is under the main domain, such as name.example.com. Technically, even in www.example.com the "www" element is a subdomain because the fully qualified domain name is just "example.com". Each subdomain could have its own web site and records and can even be hosted with a different provider if you want to use a feature that isn't offered by your current provider. A good example for using a subdomain is if you have a business site as well as an online store under a subdomain where customers can buy your products. You can even have a forum in which they can discuss the products and by using subdomains instead of subfolders you will avoid any risk of all sites going down when you perform maintenance, or update one of the site scripts. Keeping your sites separated is more secure in the case of a script security breach.

Subdomains in Hosting

Our hosting packages will allow you to create countless subdomains for every domain address hosted in your account without any hassle. Assuming that the main domain name is added, it takes two clicks to create a subdomain and choose what folder it's going to open (if different from the default one), create unique error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions, set a shared IP address or a dedicated one, and much more. All subdomains are going to be conveniently listed in alphabetical order under their main domain for easy access and management. By right-clicking on any of them and by using quick access buttons you can see the error logs, visitor statistics or website files for that specific subdomain. We haven't set a limit for the amount of subdomains which you can create with any one of our plans, so you can have as many as you wish.
