A subdomain is a web address, that's under a main, or a root domain name. An illustration is something.domain.com, where domain.com is the main domain name, 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 part of the whole web address, a subdomain can be entirely independent and also hosted by a different provider. Using a subdomain could be very beneficial if you want to have different websites which are related in some way. As an example, you could have a web-based store under the main domain along with a forum under a subdomain in order to offer means for your customers to ask questions and share thoughts about your products. The best thing about using a subdomain as opposed to a subfolder is that the web sites are going to be separated, so you're able to update one of them or perform maintenance without affecting the other.

Using our shared hosting plans you are going to be able to create subdomains with just a couple of mouse clicks in your website hosting Control Panel. All of them are going to be listed in one place along with the domain names hosted in the account and arranged under their own domain to help make their management much easier. Whatever the plan that you pick, you'll be able to create numerous subdomains and set their access folder or set up custom error pages along the way. Additionally, you'll have access to lots of functions for any of them with only a click, so from the exact same section where you create them you can access their DNS records, files, visitor statistics, etc. In contrast to other providers, we haven't limited the number of subdomains you can have even if you host just one domain in the account.
