A subdomain is a website address, that is under a main, or a root domain. An illustration 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 site and records i.e. apart from using the domain name as a part of the whole web address, a subdomain can be entirely independent and also hosted by a different provider. Employing a subdomain can be very handy if you wish to have different websites that are related in some way. For example, you may have a web-based store under the main domain and a forum under a subdomain so as to offer means for your clients to ask questions or share views about your products. The advantage of employing a subdomain instead of a subfolder is that the websites are going to be separated, so you're able to update one of them or perform maintenance not affecting the other.

Subdomains in Shared Hosting

Our shared hosting plans will enable you to set up numerous subdomains for any domain address hosted in your account without any problem. As long as the main domain address is added, it takes 2 mouse clicks to set up a subdomain and pick what folder it's going to open (if different from the default one), create unique error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions, set a shared IP address or a dedicated one, and a lot more. All subdomains will be conveniently listed in alphabetical order under their main domain for effortless access and management. By right-clicking on any of them and by using fast access buttons you can view the error logs, visitor statistics or site files for that particular subdomain. We haven't set a limit for the total amount of subdomains you can create with any one of our plans, so you can have as many as you wish.

As soon as the subdomain is set up, you can access logs and visitor statistics or you can easily jump to the site files for it inside the File Manager section via quick access buttons.
