A subdomain is a website url, that's under a main, or a root domain. An example is something.domain.com, in which domain.com is the main domain name, while "something" is the subdomain below it. Every subdomain can have its own site and records i.e. aside from using the domain name as part of the whole web address, a subdomain can be totally independent and even hosted by a separate company. Employing a subdomain can be extremely useful if you want to have different sites that are related in some way. For instance, you may have an on-line store under the main domain and a forum under a subdomain in order to supply means for your clients to ask questions and / or share thoughts concerning your products. The best thing about employing a subdomain rather than a subfolder is that the websites will be separated, so you are able to update one of them or perform maintenance without affecting the other.
Subdomains in Shared Web Hosting
Each and every shared web hosting plan we supply will allow you to create numerous subdomains with no more than a couple of clicks inside your web hosting CP. They're going to be listed in the section in which you create them and grouped under the main domain for more convenience, to help you effortlessly keep an eye on every one of them. Additionally, you can access many functions for any one of the subdomains via right-click context menus - for example, you can view or edit their DNS records, access the website files, and a lot more. While setting up a new subdomain, you will also have lots of options that you can pick from - define the default access folder, set custom error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions or select if the subdomain is going to use a shared or a dedicated IP address. The amount of subdomains you'll have is 100 % up to you because we have not restricted this feature for any of our plans.
Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Hosting
You will be able to create as many subdomains as you want with any one of our Linux semi-dedicated hosting because we have not set a maximum limit for this feature.

Even if you create a large number of subdomains, you'll be able to keep track of all of them with ease since they are going to be listed in alphabetical order below their main domain. For any of them, you can even access the site files or check out logs and usage stats through fast access buttons.
