A subdomain is the section of the web address that is before a domain name and you have most likely seen a lot of subdomains while exploring world wide web. For example, many websites like Wikipedia have versions in various languages using subdomains - en.wikipedia.org, de.wikipedia.org and so on. The advantage of using a subdomain is that it can have an independent website and its own records, so you can even host it on a different server. The practical use is that one could have a supplementary website, such as an e-learning portal for pupils aside from the main school site. If you work with subdomains instead of subfolders, it'll be much easier to perform maintenance or to upgrade a certain website, not mentioning that it will be more safe to have the websites separate from each other.

Subdomains in Cloud Website Hosting

Our cloud website hosting plans will enable you to set up hundreds of subdomains for any domain name hosted within your account without any problem. If the main domain name is added, it takes 2 clicks to create a subdomain and pick what folder it will open (if different from the default one), create custom error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions, set a shared IP address or a dedicated one, and more. All subdomains will be conveniently listed in alphabetical order under their main domain for convenient access and control. 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 specific subdomain. We have not set a limit for the amount of subdomains you can create with any of our plans, so you can have as many as you wish.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers

Through our semi-dedicated server plans, you will be able to create an unlimited amount of subdomains for any one of the domains that you add as hosted in the account. It will take a couple of clicks to create a new subdomain and during the process you will be able to add custom error pages for it, choose if it will use a shared or a dedicated IP address, change the default folder that it'll access or activate FrontPage Extensions. All subdomains you've got in the account are going to be arranged under their root domain in alphabetical order and you are going to be able to see and manage them without difficulty. By using fast access buttons and right-click menus you'll be able to jump to the site files within the File Manager area or check logs, visitor stats and other info about any of your subdomains.
