A subdomain is part of a web address that's under the main domain name, for example name.example.com. Actually, even in www.example.com the "www" element is a subdomain since the fully qualified domain name is only "example.com". Each subdomain could have its own web site and records and can even be hosted through a different company if you want to use a specific feature that's not provided by your current service provider. An illustration for using a subdomain is if you have a company site along with an online store under a subdomain where customers can purchase your products. In addition, you can have a forum in which they can talk about the products and by employing subdomains instead of subfolders you will avoid any probability of all sites going down when you perform maintenance, or update one of the site scripts. Keeping the websites separated is also more secure in case of a script security breach.

Subdomains in Cloud Hosting

Our cloud hosting plans will permit you to create countless subdomains for every domain name hosted within your account without any problem. As long as the main domain address is added, it takes 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 are going to be conveniently listed in alphabetical order under their main domain for easy access and management. By right-clicking on any one of them and by using fast access buttons you can view the error logs, visitor statistics or website files for that specific subdomain. We have not set a limit for the total amount of subdomains which you can create with any one of our plans, so you can have as many as you want.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Through our semi-dedicated server plans, you are going to be able to create an unlimited amount of subdomains for any of the domains you add as hosted in the account. It's going to take a few clicks to set up a new subdomain and throughout the process you will be able to add tailor-made error pages for it, pick if it will use a shared or a dedicated IP, change the default folder that it's going to access or activate FrontPage Extensions. All subdomains you've got within the account will be arranged under their root domain from a to z and you'll be able to see and handle all of them without difficulty. Using instant access buttons and right-click menus you'll be able to jump to the website files in the File Manager area or see logs, visitor statistics and other info about any of your subdomains.
