A subdomain is part of a web address that is under the main domain name, such as name.example.com. From a technical perspective, even in www.example.com the "www" element is a subdomain given that the fully qualified domain name is only "example.com". Each subdomain can have its own web site and records and can also be hosted with a different company if you want to use a feature which isn't provided by your current provider. One example for using a subdomain is if you have a company site and an online store under a subdomain where customers can acquire your products. Additionally, you can have a forum where they can talk about the products and by employing subdomains as opposed to subfolders you are going to avoid any probability of all sites going down if you perform maintenance, or update one of the website scripts. Keeping your sites separated is more secure in the case of a script security breach.
Subdomains in Shared Web Hosting
Our shared web hosting packages will permit you to set up countless subdomains for any domain address hosted in your account without any difficulty. As long as the main domain is added, it requires 2 clicks to create a subdomain and pick what folder it will open (if different from the default one), create custom error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions, set a shared IP address or a dedicated one, and much 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 site files for that specific subdomain. We have not set a limit for the total amount of subdomains that you can create with any of our plans, so you can have as many as you want.
Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers
Using our semi-dedicated server plans, you'll be able to create an unrestricted amount of subdomains for any one of the domains which you add as hosted in the account. It requires a couple of mouse clicks to set up a new subdomain and during the process you will be able to add custom error pages for it, pick if it will use a shared or a dedicated IP, change the default folder that it'll access or activate FrontPage Extensions. All subdomains that you have inside the account will be arranged under their root domain from a to z and you're going to be able to see and manage them with ease. Through fast access buttons and right-click menus you will also be able to jump to the website files in the File Manager area or check logs, visitor statistics and other info about any one of your subdomains.
