A subdomain is a website url, that's under a main, or a root domain. An illustration is something.domain.com, in which domain.com is the main domain name, while "something" is the subdomain below it. Every single 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 also hosted by a different service provider. Using a subdomain can be very useful if you wish to have different websites which are associated in some way. For example, you can have a web-based store under the main domain along with a forum under a subdomain so as to supply means for your clients to ask questions and share experiences about your products. The benefit of employing a subdomain rather than a subfolder is that the sites will be separated, so that you can update one of them or perform maintenance without affecting the other.

Our cloud web hosting packages will enable you to create countless subdomains for every domain hosted inside your account without any hassle. If the main domain name is added, it requires 2 mouse clicks to set up a subdomain and pick what folder it'll open (if different from the default one), create custom 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 convenient access and administration. By right-clicking on any one of them and by using fast access buttons you can view the error logs, visitor statistics or site files for that particular subdomain.
