A subdomain is a website address, which is under a main, or a root domain. An example is something.domain.com, where domain.com is the main domain address, while "something" is the subdomain below it. Each and every subdomain can have its own website and records i.e. apart from using the domain name as part of the whole web address, a subdomain can be totally independent and also hosted by a different company. Using a subdomain can be quite beneficial if you'd like to have different sites that are related in some way. For instance, you may have a web-based store under the main domain as well as a forum under a subdomain in order to offer means for your customers to ask questions or share opinions about your products. The advantage of employing a subdomain as opposed to a subfolder is that the web sites are going to be separated, so that you can update one of them or perform maintenance not affecting the other.

Subdomains in Cloud Hosting

Every cloud hosting package that we supply will permit you to create hundreds of subdomains with no more than a few clicks inside your website hosting CP. They will all be listed in the section in which you create them and grouped under the main domain for more convenience, so you can effortlessly keep an eye on all of them. Additionally, you can access a lot of functions for any of the subdomains through right-click context menus - for example, you can view or modify their DNS records, access the website files, and much more. While setting up a new subdomain, you'll also have lots of options that you can choose from - determine the default access folder, set custom error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions or decide if the subdomain will use a shared or a dedicated IP address. How many subdomains you will have is completely up to you because we haven't limited this feature for any one of our packages.
