A subdomain is a part of a web address that's under the main domain, such as name.example.com. Actually, even in www.example.com the "www" element is a subdomain since the fully qualified domain name is only "example.com". Every single subdomain can have its own web site and records and can even be hosted with a different company if you wish to use some feature which isn't provided by your current provider. A good example for using a subdomain is if you have a business website and an online store under a subdomain where clients can purchase your products. Additionally, you can have a forum in which they can comment on the products and by using subdomains as opposed to subfolders you'll avoid any risk of all websites going down if you perform maintenance, or update one of the website scripts. Keeping your websites separated is also more secure in the event of a script security breach.

Subdomains in Cloud Web Hosting

When you use cloud web hosting packages you will be able to create subdomains with only a few mouse clicks in your web hosting Control Panel. All of them are going to be listed in a single location along with the domains hosted in the account and grouped under their own domain in order to make their administration much easier. Regardless of the plan that you pick, you are going to be able to create many subdomains and set their access folder or set up custom error pages during the process. You will also have access to lots of functions for any of them with just a mouse click, so from the very same section where you create them you can access their DNS records, files, visitor statistics, etc. Unlike other companies, we have not limited the number of subdomains that you can have even if you host only one domain address within the account.
