A subdomain is a web address, which is under a main, or a root domain. One example is something.domain.com, in which domain.com is the main domain address, while "something" is the subdomain below it. Each and every subdomain can have its own website 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 separate company. Employing a subdomain can be very beneficial if you'd like to have different web sites which are related in some way. As an example, you can have a web-based store under the main domain as well as a forum under a subdomain in order to provide means for your customers to ask questions or share views about your products. The best thing about using a subdomain instead of a subfolder is that the sites will be separated, so that you can update one of them or perform maintenance without affecting the other.

Subdomains in Shared Hosting

Each and every shared hosting plan which we supply will enable you to create hundreds of subdomains with no more than a couple of clicks in your hosting CP. They will all be listed in the section in which you create them and grouped under the main domain for more convenience, so you can easily monitor them all. In addition, you can access lots of functions for any one of the subdomains using right-click context menus - for example, you can view or modify their DNS records, access the site files, and much more. While creating a new subdomain, you are also going to have lots of 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 will have is totally up to you as we haven't restricted this feature for any of our packages.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Hosting

You will be able to create as many subdomains as you want with any one of our Linux semi-dedicated hosting as we haven't set a maximum limit for this feature.

Even if you create a huge amount of subdomains, you are going to be able to keep track of them with ease as they are going to be listed in alphabetical order below their main domain. For any one of them, you can even access the website files or see logs and usage stats through fast access buttons.
