Subdomains

Find out more on subdomains, how to create them and how they're able to strengthen your online presence.

A subdomain is a part of a web address that is under the main domain, for example name.example.com. Technically, even in www.example.com the "www" element is a subdomain because the fully qualified domain name is only "example.com". Every single subdomain could have its own website and records and can even be hosted with a different provider if you want to use a certain feature that isn't provided by your current service provider. One example for using a subdomain is if you have a business website and an online store under a subdomain where customers can acquire your products. Additionally, you can have a forum where they can discuss the products and by employing subdomains as an alternative to subfolders you'll avoid any risk of all sites going down if you perform maintenance, or update one of the site scripts. Keeping the websites separated is also more secure in the event of a script security breach.

Subdomains in Shared Web Hosting

Every single shared web hosting plan that we supply will permit you to create hundreds of subdomains with no more than a few clicks inside your hosting CP. They're going to be listed in the area in which you create them and arranged under the main domain for more convenience, so that you can effortlessly keep track of all of them. Additionally, you can access many functions for any of the subdomains through right-click context menus - for instance, you can view or edit their DNS records, access the site files, and much more. While creating a new subdomain, you'll also have many options that you can pick from - determine the default access folder, set customized error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions or choose if the subdomain will use a shared or a dedicated IP address. The amount of subdomains you are going to have is totally up to you because we haven't restricted this feature for any one of our plans.
