A subdomain is a part of a web address which is under the main domain, for instance name.example.com. Technically, even in www.example.com the "www" part is a subdomain given that the fully qualified domain name is just "example.com". Each subdomain can have its own web site and records and can also be hosted with a different company if you want to use some feature that isn't offered by your current provider. One example for using a subdomain is if you have a company website along with an online store under a subdomain where customers can acquire your products. Additionally, you can have a forum in which they can comment on the products and by employing subdomains as opposed to subfolders you'll avoid any probability of all sites going down when you perform maintenance, or update one of the site scripts. Keeping the sites separated is also more secure in the event of a script security breach.
Subdomains in Website Hosting
Our website hosting plans will permit you to create hundreds of subdomains for every domain hosted in your account without any hassle. Assuming that the main domain address is added, it takes two clicks to create a subdomain and choose what folder it'll open (if different from the default one), set custom error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions, set a shared IP address or a dedicated one, and much more. All subdomains will be conveniently listed in alphabetical order under their main domain for convenient access and administration. By right-clicking on any of them and by using instant access buttons you can see the error logs, visitor statistics or site files for that particular subdomain. We have not set a limit for the total number of subdomains you can create with any one of our plans, so you can have as many as you want.

Once the subdomain is created, you will be able to access logs and visitor statistics or you can swiftly jump to the site files for it inside the File Manager area using fast access buttons. All subdomains you've got in the account will be conveniently listed under their root domain, so you will be able to find and handle every single one of them with ease.
