A subdomain is a website address, that's under a main, or a root domain. One example is something.domain.com, in which domain.com is the main domain, while "something" is the subdomain below it. Each subdomain can have its own site and records i.e. aside from using the domain name as a part of the whole web address, a subdomain can be entirely independent and even hosted by a separate provider. Employing a subdomain can be quite useful if you'd like to have different web sites that are related in some way. For instance, you can have an online store under the main domain and a forum under a subdomain in order to provide means for your clients to ask questions and / or share opinions about your products. The benefit of using a subdomain as opposed to a subfolder is that the websites will be separated, so you are able to update one of them or perform maintenance not affecting the other.

Regardless of the plan that you choose, you are going to be able to create hundreds of subdomains and set their access folder or set up custom error pages during the process. Additionally, you will have access to numerous functions for any of them with just a click, so from the very same section where you create them you can access their DNS records, files, visitor statistics, etc. As opposed to other providers, we have not restricted the number of subdomains that you can have even if you host just one domain within the account.
