A subdomain is a part of a web address that's under the main domain, for instance name.example.com. Technically, even in www.example.com the "www" part is a subdomain because the fully qualified domain name is just "example.com". Each subdomain can have its own site and records and can even be hosted with a different company if you wish to use a specific feature which isn't offered by your current service provider. An example for using a subdomain is if you have a business site as well as an online store under a subdomain where customers can buy your products. Additionally, you can have a forum in which they can discuss the products and by employing subdomains rather than subfolders you'll avoid any risk of all sites going down if 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 Web Hosting

Every single shared web hosting package that we offer will allow you to create numerous subdomains with no more than a few mouse clicks within your hosting Control Panel. They'll all be listed in the section where you create them and arranged under the main domain for more convenience, so that you're able to effortlessly keep an eye on every one of them. Additionally, you can access many functions for any one of the subdomains using right-click context menus - for instance, you can view or edit their DNS records, access the website files, plus much more. While setting up a new subdomain, you're also going to have numerous options that you can select from - specify the default access folder, set custom error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions or choose if the subdomain is going to use a shared or a dedicated IP address. How many subdomains you'll have is totally up to you as we have not limited this feature for any of our packages.
