A subdomain is a website address, that is under a main, or a root domain name. An example 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. aside from using the domain name as a part of the whole web address, a subdomain can be totally independent and also hosted by a different company. Employing a subdomain can be extremely beneficial if you'd like to have different web sites that are connected in some way. As an example, you may have a web-based store under the main domain and a forum under a subdomain so as to provide means for your clients to ask questions and / or share views regarding your products. The best thing about employing a subdomain rather than a subfolder is that the web sites will be separated, so you're able to update one of them or perform maintenance without affecting the other.
Subdomains in Cloud Website Hosting
When you use cloud website 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 spot together with the domain addresses hosted in the account and arranged under their own domain to help make their management simpler. Whatever the plan that you select, you will be able to create many subdomains and set their access folder or create custom error pages in the process. Additionally, you'll have access to lots of functions for any of them with only a mouse click, so from the exact same section where you create them you can access their DNS records, files, visitor statistics, etc. Unlike other companies, we have not limited the number of subdomains which you can have even if you host only one domain address in the account.
