A subdomain is a web address, that's under a main, or a root domain. An illustration is something.domain.com, in which domain.com is the main domain name, while "something" is the subdomain below it. Every subdomain can have its own website and records i.e. apart from employing the domain name as a part of the whole web address, a subdomain can be totally independent and even hosted by a different service provider. Using a subdomain can be quite handy if you wish to have different websites that are related in some way. For instance, you may have an on-line store under the main domain along with a forum under a subdomain so as to provide means for your clients to ask questions or share thoughts regarding your products. The main advantage of using a subdomain rather than a subfolder is that the websites are going to be separated, so you are able to update one of them or perform maintenance without affecting the other.
Subdomains in Cloud Web Hosting
Each cloud web hosting package we offer will enable you to create numerous subdomains with no more than a few clicks within your hosting CP. They're going to 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 an eye on every one of them. Additionally, you can access many functions for any of the subdomains via right-click context menus - for instance, you can view or modify their DNS records, access the site files, plus much more. While creating a new subdomain, you'll also have lots of options that you can choose from - define the default access folder, create custom 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 will have is 100 % up to you because we haven't limited this feature for any of our plans.

If you purchase a semi-dedicated server plan, you are going to be able to create as many subdomains as you'd like since this feature is unrestricted. Considering that the website hosting plans are quite powerful, we have decided not to put any cap on the number of subdomains.

To make it easier for you, all the subdomains are going to be listed under their root domain, so that you can effortlessly see and manage them. Using quick access links, you will also have the ability to open the site files for any one of the subdomains that you have or view its DNS records.
