A subdomain is part of a web address which is under the main domain, 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". Every single subdomain can have its own website and records and can also be hosted with a different company if you wish to use a specific feature that is not provided by your current provider. A good example for using a subdomain is if you have a company website as well as an online store under a subdomain where customers can acquire your products. You can also have a forum where they can comment on the products and by employing subdomains as an alternative to subfolders you will avoid any probability of all websites going down if you perform maintenance, or update one of the website scripts. Keeping the sites separated is more secure in case of a script security breach.
Subdomains in Shared Web Hosting
Using our shared web hosting plans you will be able to create subdomains with a few mouse clicks in your web hosting Control Panel. All of them are going to 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 a lot easier. Regardless of the plan that you select, you're going to be able to create numerous subdomains and set their access folder or create custom error pages in the process. Additionally, you'll have access to many functions for any of them with just a click, so from the same section in which you create them you can access their DNS records, files, visitor statistics, etc. As opposed to other companies, we have not limited the number of subdomains you can have even if you host just one domain name within the account.
