A subdomain is a web address, that's under a main, or a root domain name. One example is something.domain.com, where domain.com is the main domain address, while "something" is the subdomain below it. Each subdomain can have its own website and records i.e. aside from employing the domain name as a part of the whole web address, a subdomain can be entirely independent and even hosted by a different provider. Using a subdomain could be very practical if you want to have different websites that are related in some way. As an example, you may have a web-based store under the main domain as well as a forum under a subdomain in order to provide means for your clients to ask questions and share opinions regarding your products. The advantage of employing a subdomain instead of a subfolder is that the web sites will be separated, so that you can update one of them or perform maintenance not affecting the other.

Subdomains in Cloud Website Hosting

Every cloud website hosting package that we provide will allow you to create many subdomains with no more than a couple of mouse clicks within your web hosting CP. They're going to be listed in the area in which you create them and grouped under the main domain for more convenience, to help you easily keep an eye on every one of them. In addition, you can access lots of functions for any one of the subdomains through right-click context menus - for example, you can view or edit their DNS records, access the website files, plus much more. While setting up a new subdomain, you'll also have many options that you can select from - define the default access folder, create unique error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions or pick if the subdomain is going to use a shared or a dedicated IP address. The amount of subdomains you'll have is entirely up to you because we haven't restricted this feature for any one of our plans.

Using fast access buttons and right-click menus you will also be able to jump to the site files inside the File Manager section or view logs, visitor statistics and other info about any one of your subdomains.
