A subdomain is part of a web address that's under the main domain, for example name.example.com. Technically, even in www.example.com the "www" part is a subdomain because the fully qualified domain name is only "example.com". Each subdomain could have its own web site and records and can also be hosted through a different provider if you want to use some feature which isn't provided by your current provider. An illustration for using a subdomain is if you have a business site along with an online store under a subdomain where customers can buy your products. In addition, you can have a forum where they can talk about the products and by employing subdomains rather than subfolders you are going to avoid any risk of all sites going down when you perform maintenance, or update one of the site scripts. Keeping the websites separated is less risky in the event of a script security breach.

Subdomains in Shared Web Hosting

Each shared web hosting package that we provide will enable you to create numerous subdomains with no more than a few mouse clicks in your web hosting Control Panel. They are going to be listed in the area where you create them and arranged under the main domain for more convenience, so that you're able to easily monitor every one of them. Additionally, you can access many functions for any of the subdomains via right-click context menus - for instance, you can view or modify their DNS records, access the site files, and more. While creating a new subdomain, you will also have a number of options that you can select from - define the default access folder, set customized error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions or pick if the subdomain is going to use a shared or a dedicated IP address.
