A subdomain is a web address, that is under a main, or a root domain. An illustration is something.domain.com, in which domain.com is the main domain address, while "something" is the subdomain below it. Every single subdomain can have its own website and records i.e. aside from employing the domain name as a part of the whole web address, a subdomain can be entirely independent and even hosted by a separate service provider. Employing a subdomain can be extremely handy if you'd like to have different web sites that are connected in some way. For instance, you may have a web-based store under the main domain along with a forum under a subdomain in order to offer means for your customers to ask questions and / or share thoughts regarding your products. The best thing about employing a subdomain as opposed to a subfolder is that the websites are going to be separated, so that you can update one of them or perform maintenance without affecting the other.
Subdomains in Cloud Website Hosting
Each cloud website hosting package that we offer will enable you to create numerous subdomains with no more than a couple of clicks within your website hosting Control Panel. They are going to be listed in the section in which you create them and grouped under the main domain for more convenience, so you can easily keep an eye on them all. Additionally, you can access a lot of functions for any one of the subdomains through right-click context menus - as an 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 a number of options that you can pick from - define the default access folder, create unique error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions or pick if the subdomain will use a shared or a dedicated IP address. How many subdomains you'll have is completely up to you as we have not restricted this feature for any one of our plans.

After the subdomain is created, you'll be able to access logs and visitor statistics or easily jump to the site files for it within the File Manager section using fast access buttons. All subdomains that you've got in the account are going to be conveniently listed under their root domain, so you're going to be able to find and manage any one of them with ease.
