A subdomain is a part of a web address which 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 because the fully qualified domain name is just "example.com". Every subdomain can have its own site and records and can also be hosted through a different provider if you wish to use a specific feature that's not offered by your current service provider. An example for using a subdomain is if you have a business website along with an online store under a subdomain where clients can buy your products. You can also have a forum in which they can comment on the products and by employing subdomains as an alternative to subfolders you will avoid any probability of all sites going down when you perform maintenance, or update one of the website scripts. Keeping your sites separated is also more secure in the event of a script security breach.
Subdomains in Shared Website Hosting
Our shared website hosting plans will allow you to set up hundreds of subdomains for any domain name hosted inside your account without any problem. As long as the main domain is added, it will take two clicks to set up a subdomain and select what folder it's going to open (if different from the default one), set customized error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions, set a shared IP address or a dedicated one, and a lot more. All subdomains are going to be conveniently listed in alphabetical order under their main domain for quick 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 particular subdomain. We have not set a limit for the total number of subdomains you can create with any one of our plans, so you can have as many as you need.
Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Hosting
When you purchase a semi-dedicated server plan, you'll be able to create as many subdomains as you want because this feature is unlimited.
