A subdomain is a part of a web address which is under the main domain name, such as name.example.com. Actually, even in www.example.com the "www" element is a subdomain given that the fully qualified domain name is only "example.com". Each subdomain can have its own website and records and can also be hosted through a different company if you wish to use a feature which isn't provided by your current provider. An illustration for using a subdomain is if you have a company website along with an online store under a subdomain where customers can acquire your products. You can even have a forum where they can discuss the products and by using subdomains instead of subfolders you are going to avoid any probability of all sites going down if you perform maintenance, or update one of the site scripts. Keeping the sites separated is more secure in the case of a script security breach.

Subdomains in Cloud Hosting

Every single cloud hosting package we supply will enable you to create numerous subdomains with no more than a couple of clicks in your website hosting Control Panel. They're going to be listed in the section where you create them and grouped under the main domain for more convenience, so that you can very easily keep an eye on every one of them. Additionally, you can access a lot of functions for any of the subdomains through right-click context menus - for example, you can view or edit their DNS records, access the site files, and much more. While setting up a new subdomain, you will also have many options that you can pick from - define the default access folder, create custom error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions or select if the subdomain is going to use a shared or a dedicated IP address. The number of subdomains you will have is 100 % up to you since we have not restricted this feature for any one of our packages.
