A subdomain is a website url, that's under a main, or a root domain name. An illustration is something.domain.com, where domain.com is the main domain, while "something" is the subdomain below it. Each and every subdomain can have its own website and records i.e. aside from using the domain name as a part of the whole web address, a subdomain can be completely independent and even hosted by a different company. Employing a subdomain could be very beneficial if you'd like to have different websites that are associated in some way. For instance, you may have an online store under the main domain and a forum under a subdomain in order to offer means for your customers to ask questions or share opinions concerning your products. The advantage of using a subdomain as opposed to a subfolder is that the websites will be separated, so you can update one of them or perform maintenance without affecting the other.

Subdomains in Cloud Website Hosting

Our cloud website hosting plans will permit you to set up numerous subdomains for any domain name hosted within your account without any hassle. Assuming that the main domain address is added, it requires two mouse clicks to create a subdomain and choose what folder it'll open (if different from the default one), create custom error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions, set a shared IP address or a dedicated one, plus much more. All subdomains are going to be conveniently listed in alphabetical order under their main domain for convenient access and control. By right-clicking on any one 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 total amount of subdomains that you can create with any of our plans, so you can have as many as you want.
