A subdomain is a part of a web address that's under the main domain, for instance name.example.com. Technically, even in www.example.com the "www" element is a subdomain because the fully qualified domain name is just "example.com". Every subdomain could have its own website and records and can even be hosted using a different company if you want to use a feature which is not provided by your current service provider. An illustration for using a subdomain is if you have a company website as well as an online store under a subdomain where clients can purchase your products. In addition, you can have a forum where they can discuss the products and by using subdomains instead of subfolders you'll avoid any risk of all websites going down when you perform maintenance, or update one of the site scripts. Keeping your sites separated is more secure in the case of a script security breach.
Subdomains in Shared Web Hosting
With our shared web hosting packages you are going to be able to create subdomains with a few clicks in your website hosting CP. All of them will be listed in a single place together with the domains hosted in the account and arranged under their own domain in order to make their management easier. No matter the plan that you choose, you'll be able to create numerous subdomains and set their access folder or create custom error pages along the way. Additionally, you'll have access to lots of functions for any of them with just a mouse click, so from the same section where you create them you can access their DNS records, files, visitor statistics, etc. As opposed to other companies, we have not limited the amount of subdomains which you can have even if you host only one domain in the account.
Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Hosting
You’re able to create as many subdomains as you wish with any one of our semi-dedicated hosting services since we haven't set an upper limit for this feature.

Even if you create a huge amount of subdomains, you'll be able to keep track of them with ease as they are going to be listed in alphabetical order below their main domain. For each of them, you are able to access the web site files or see logs and usage statistics through quick access buttons.
