A subdomain is a website address, which is under a main, or a root domain. An example is something.domain.com, in which domain.com is the main domain, while "something" is the subdomain below it. Every subdomain can have its own site and records i.e. apart from employing the domain name as part of the whole web address, a subdomain can be entirely independent and even hosted by a different service provider. Using a subdomain can be extremely handy if you'd like to have different websites that are connected in some way. For instance, you could have an online store under the main domain plus a forum under a subdomain so as to supply means for your customers to ask questions and share experiences regarding your products. The advantage of employing a subdomain rather than a subfolder is that the sites will be separated, so you're able to update one of them or perform maintenance without affecting the other.

Subdomains in Cloud Website Hosting

Our cloud website hosting plans will allow you to create numerous subdomains for every domain address hosted inside your account without any problem. As long as the main domain address is added, it takes 2 mouse clicks to create a subdomain and select what folder it'll open (if different from the default one), create customized error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions, set a shared IP address or a dedicated one, plus much more. All subdomains are going to be conveniently listed in alphabetical order under their main domain for effortless access and control. By right-clicking on any of them and by using instant access buttons you can view the error logs, visitor statistics or site files for that particular subdomain. We have not set a limit for the total number of subdomains which you can create with any one of our plans, so you can have as many as you need.

Once the subdomain is set up, you can access logs and visitor stats or quickly jump to the site files for it inside the File Manager area using quick access buttons. All subdomains you've got within the account will be conveniently listed under their root domain, so you'll be able to find and handle any of them effortlessly.
