A subdomain is a part of a web address which is under the main domain name, for example name.example.com. Actually, even in www.example.com the "www" part is a subdomain given that the fully qualified domain name is just "example.com". Every single subdomain can have its own site and records and can also be hosted through a different company if you want to use a feature which is not offered by your current provider. One example for using a subdomain is if you have a company website as well as an online store under a subdomain where customers can buy your products. You can even have a forum in which they can talk about the products and by employing subdomains rather than subfolders you will avoid any chance of all websites 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

Through our cloud hosting packages you'll be able to create subdomains with only a couple of mouse clicks in your web hosting Control Panel. All of them are going to be listed in a single place along with the domain names hosted in the account and arranged under their own domain to help make their managing a lot easier. Regardless of the plan that you choose, you'll be able to create hundreds of subdomains and set their access folder or set up custom error pages during the process. You will also have access to many functions for any of them with just a mouse click, so from the exact same section in which you create them you can access their DNS records, files, visitor statistics, etc. As opposed to other providers, we have not restricted the amount of subdomains you can have even if you host one domain name inside the account.
