A subdomain is a part of a web address that is under the main domain, 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 with a different provider if you need to use a specific feature that's not offered by your current service provider. A good example for using a subdomain is if you have a company site and an online store under a subdomain where clients can purchase your products. Additionally, you can have a forum in which they can discuss the products and by employing subdomains instead of subfolders you'll avoid any risk of all websites going down when you perform maintenance, or update one of the site scripts. Keeping your websites separated is also less risky in case of a script security breach.

Subdomains in Shared Hosting

Our shared hosting plans will enable you to create numerous subdomains for every domain hosted in your account without any problem. As long as the main domain address is added, it takes two clicks to create a subdomain and select what folder it's going to open (if different from the default one), set 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 effortless access and control. By right-clicking on any one of them and by using instant access buttons you can see the error logs, visitor statistics or site files for that specific subdomain. We haven't set a restriction for the amount of subdomains that you can create with any one of our plans, so you can have as many as you wish.
