A subdomain is a website url, that is under a main, or a root domain name. An illustration is something.domain.com, where domain.com is the main domain address, while "something" is the subdomain below it. Each subdomain can have its own site and records i.e. apart from employing the domain name as part of the whole web address, a subdomain can be entirely independent and also hosted by a different provider. Using a subdomain could be very practical if you want to have different web sites that are related in some way. As an example, you may have a web-based store under the main domain and a forum under a subdomain in order to offer means for your customers to ask questions and / or share thoughts concerning your products. The benefit of employing a subdomain rather than a subfolder is that the web sites are going to be separated, so that you can update one of them or perform maintenance without affecting the other.

They will all be listed in the section in which you create them and grouped under the main domain for more convenience, to help you effortlessly keep track of every one of them. Additionally, you can access many functions for any of the subdomains through right-click context menus - for instance, you can view or change their DNS records, access the site files, and more. While setting up a new subdomain, you are also going to have numerous options that you can select from - specify the default access folder, set custom error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions or choose if the subdomain is going to use a shared or a dedicated IP address. The amount of subdomains you'll have is completely up to you since we haven't limited this feature for any of our packages.
