A subdomain is a web address, that is under a main, or a root domain name. An illustration is something.domain.com, where domain.com is the main domain name, while "something" is the subdomain below it. Each subdomain can have its own site and records i.e. aside from employing the domain name as part of the whole web address, a subdomain can be completely independent and also hosted by a different provider. Employing a subdomain can be extremely handy if you'd like to have different websites which are related in some way. For instance, you may have an on-line store under the main domain as well as a forum under a subdomain in order to supply means for your clients to ask questions or share views regarding your products. The main advantage of using a subdomain instead of a subfolder is that the websites are going to be separated, so you can update one of them or perform maintenance not affecting the other.

Subdomains in Cloud Website Hosting

When you use cloud website hosting packages you are going to be able to create subdomains with a couple of clicks in your web hosting CP. All of them are going to be listed in one spot together with the domain names hosted in the account and grouped under their own domain so as to make their administration a lot easier. No matter the plan that you select, you'll be able to create hundreds of subdomains and set their access folder or create custom error pages during the process. Additionally, you'll have access to many functions for any of them with only a click, so from the very same section where you create them you can access their DNS records, files, visitor statistics, etc. In contrast to other companies, we have not restricted the amount of subdomains you can have even if you host only one domain name in the account.
