A subdomain is a website address, that's under a main, or a root domain name. An illustration is something.domain.com, in which domain.com is the main domain name, while "something" is the subdomain below it. Every subdomain can have its own website and records i.e. aside from using the domain name as part of the whole web address, a subdomain can be fully independent and also hosted by a separate company. Employing a subdomain can be extremely practical if you wish to have different sites which are associated in some way. For example, you could have an on-line store under the main domain along with a forum under a subdomain so as to provide means for your clients to ask questions or share experiences about your products. The benefit of using a subdomain rather than a subfolder is that the web sites will be separated, so that you can update one of them or perform maintenance without affecting the other.

Each shared web hosting package we provide will permit you to create many subdomains with no more than a few clicks inside your web hosting Control Panel. They will all be listed in the area in which you create them and grouped under the main domain for more convenience, so you can effortlessly monitor all of them. Furthermore, you can access a lot of functions for any one of the subdomains through right-click context menus - for instance, you can view or change their DNS records, access the site files, and more. While setting up a new subdomain, you are also going to have numerous options that you can pick from - specify the default access folder, set custom error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions or pick if the subdomain is going to use a shared or a dedicated IP address. What number of subdomains you'll have is totally up to you because we have not restricted this feature for any one of our packages.
