A subdomain is a web address, that is under a main, or a root domain name. An illustration is something.domain.com, in which domain.com is the main domain name, while "something" is the subdomain below it. Each 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 completely independent and also hosted by a different provider. Employing a subdomain can be extremely handy if you wish to have different web sites that are related in some way. For example, you can have an online store under the main domain plus a forum under a subdomain in order to provide means for your clients to ask questions and share experiences concerning your products. The advantage of employing a subdomain rather than a subfolder is that the sites are going to be separated, so that you can update one of them or perform maintenance without affecting the other.
Subdomains in Cloud Website Hosting
Each cloud website hosting plan which we supply will allow you to create numerous subdomains with no more than a couple of clicks inside your web hosting CP. They'll all be listed in the area where you create them and arranged under the main domain for more convenience, so that you're able to very easily keep tabs on them all. Furthermore, you can access lots of functions for any of the subdomains via right-click context menus - as an example, you can view or change their DNS records, access the website files, and much more. While setting up a new subdomain, you're also going to have a number of options that you can choose from - define the default access folder, create custom error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions or pick if the subdomain will use a shared or a dedicated IP address. What number of subdomains you are going to have is totally up to you because we have not limited this feature for any one of our plans.
