A subdomain is a part of a web address that is under the main domain name, for example name.example.com. Actually, even in www.example.com the "www" element is a subdomain because the fully qualified domain name is just "example.com". Each subdomain could have its own site and records and can even be hosted using a different company if you wish to use a feature which is not offered by your current service provider. One example for using a subdomain is if you have a company website along with an online store under a subdomain where customers can acquire your products. In addition, you can have a forum in which they can comment on the products and by using subdomains as opposed to subfolders you are going to avoid any probability of all websites going down if you perform maintenance, or update one of the website scripts. Keeping your sites separated is less risky in case there is a script security breach.

Subdomains in Cloud Web Hosting

Every single cloud web hosting plan we offer will permit you to create hundreds of subdomains with no more than a couple of mouse clicks inside your website hosting CP. They're going to be listed in the area in which you create them and arranged under the main domain for more convenience, to help you effortlessly keep an eye on them all. Additionally, you can access many functions for any one of the subdomains using right-click context menus - as an example, you can view or edit their DNS records, access the site files, plus much more. While setting up a new subdomain, you're also going to have lots of options that you can pick from - define the default access folder, create customized error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions or choose if the subdomain is going to use a shared or a dedicated IP address. The number of subdomains you are going to have is 100 % up to you as we haven't restricted this feature for any of our plans.
