A subdomain is a part of a web address that's under the main domain, for instance name.example.com. Actually, even in www.example.com the "www" part is a subdomain since the fully qualified domain name is just "example.com". Every subdomain can have its own website and records and can even be hosted through a different provider if you wish to use a feature that is not offered by your current provider. An example for using a subdomain is if you have a business website along with an online store under a subdomain where clients can purchase your products. You can also have a forum in which they can discuss the products and by employing subdomains as opposed to subfolders you are going to avoid any probability of all websites going down if you perform maintenance, or update one of the site scripts. Keeping your websites separated is also more secure in case there is a script security breach.

Whatever the plan that you choose, you will be able to create many subdomains and set their access folder or set up custom error pages along the way. Additionally, you'll have access to a lot of functions for any of them with just a click, so from the same section where you create them you can access their DNS records, files, visitor statistics, etc. In contrast to other providers, we haven't restricted the number of subdomains which you can have even if you host one domain inside the account.
