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" part is a subdomain because the fully qualified domain name is just "example.com". Each subdomain can have its own site and records and can also be hosted through a different company if you wish to use a certain feature that is not offered by your current provider. An illustration for using a subdomain is if you have a company site as well as an online store under a subdomain where customers can purchase your products. In addition, you can have a forum where they can talk about the products and by using subdomains rather than subfolders you are going to avoid any risk of all websites going down when you perform maintenance, or update one of the website scripts. Keeping your sites separated is more secure in the event of a script security breach.

Subdomains in Web Hosting

Using our web hosting plans you are going to be able to create subdomains with only a couple of clicks in your hosting Control Panel. All of them will be listed in a single spot together with the domains hosted in the account and grouped under their own domain in order to make their managing easier. Regardless of the plan that you pick, you are going to be able to create many subdomains and set their access folder or set up custom error pages during the process. Additionally, you'll have access to many functions for any of them with only a mouse click, so from the same section in which you create them you can access their DNS records, files, visitor statistics, etc. In contrast to other providers, we haven't restricted the number of subdomains you can have even if you host one domain in the account.
