A subdomain is a web address, that's under a main, or a root domain. An example is something.domain.com, where domain.com is the main domain name, while "something" is the subdomain below it. Each and every 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 fully independent and also hosted by a different company. Using a subdomain could be very beneficial if you want to have different websites that are related in some way. For example, you may have an online store under the main domain along with a forum under a subdomain so as to provide means for your clients to ask questions and / or share views concerning your products. The best thing about using a subdomain instead of a subfolder is that the web sites will be separated, so you can update one of them or perform maintenance without affecting the other.

Subdomains in Shared Web Hosting

When you use shared web hosting plans you're going to be able to create subdomains with only a few clicks in your website hosting CP. All of them are going to be listed in one place together with the domain names hosted in the account and grouped under their own domain to help make their administration much easier. Whatever the plan that you pick, you will be able to create hundreds of subdomains and set their access folder or set up custom error pages during the process. Additionally, you will have access to lots of functions for any of them with only a mouse click, so from the same section where you create them you can access their DNS records, files, visitor statistics, etc. In contrast to other providers, we have not restricted the amount of subdomains you can have even if you host one domain within the account.
