A subdomain is a part of a web address which is under the main domain, for example name.example.com. Actually, even in www.example.com the "www" part is a subdomain given that the fully qualified domain name is just "example.com". Every subdomain could have its own website and records and can even be hosted through a different company if you wish to use a certain feature that is not offered by your current provider. One example for using a subdomain is if you have a business site as well as an online store under a subdomain where clients can acquire your products. Additionally, you can have a forum in which they can discuss the products and by using subdomains rather than subfolders you'll avoid any risk of all websites going down if you perform maintenance, or update one of the site scripts. Keeping the websites separated is more secure in case of a script security breach.

Subdomains in Website Hosting

With our website hosting packages you are going to be able to create subdomains with a couple of mouse clicks in your website hosting CP. All of them will be listed in a single place together with the domain names hosted in the account and grouped under their own domain so as to make their managing simpler. Regardless of the plan that you pick, you're going to be able to create hundreds of subdomains and set their access folder or create custom error pages in the process. Additionally, you will have access to many functions for any of them with just a click, so from the very same section in which you create them you can access their DNS records, files, visitor statistics, etc. Unlike other companies, we haven't restricted the number of subdomains that you can have even if you host just one domain address in the account.
