A subdomain is a web address, that's under a main, or a root domain. An illustration is something.domain.com, where domain.com is the main domain name, while "something" is the subdomain below it. Each and 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 fully independent and also hosted by a different service provider. Employing a subdomain could be very practical if you want to have different sites that are related in some way. For example, you may have an on-line store under the main domain as well as a forum under a subdomain so as to provide means for your customers to ask questions and share views regarding your products. The benefit of using a subdomain rather than a subfolder is that the websites will be separated, so that you can update one of them or perform maintenance not affecting the other.
Subdomains in Cloud Hosting
With our cloud hosting plans you will be able to create subdomains with just a few clicks in your web hosting Control Panel. All of them will be listed in one spot along with the domain addresses hosted in the account and arranged under their own domain in order to make their management simpler. No matter the plan that you choose, you are going to be able to create many subdomains and set their access folder or create custom error pages during the process. Additionally, you'll have access to numerous functions for any of them with just a mouse click, so from the same section where you create them you can access their DNS records, files, visitor statistics, etc. Unlike other companies, we haven't restricted the amount of subdomains that you can have even if you host one domain name in the account.

You are able to create as many subdomains as you wish with any of our Linux semi-dedicated servers because we have not set an upper limit for this feature.
