A subdomain is a part of a web address that is under the main domain name, for instance name.example.com. From a technical perspective, even in www.example.com the "www" part is a subdomain given that the fully qualified domain name is just "example.com". Every subdomain could have its own web site and records and can also be hosted with a different provider if you want to use a feature that isn't provided by your current service provider. An 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 where they can talk about the products and by employing subdomains instead of subfolders you are going to avoid any risk of all websites going down if you perform maintenance, or update one of the site scripts. Keeping the sites separated is also more secure in the case of a script security breach.

All of them will be listed in a single location along with the domain names hosted in the account and grouped under their own domain to help make their administration simpler. No matter the plan that you choose, you'll be able to create hundreds of subdomains and set their access folder or create custom error pages during the process. Additionally, you will have access to many 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. In contrast to other companies, we haven't restricted the number of subdomains that you can have even if you host one domain inside the account.
Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Hosting
If you buy a semi-dedicated server package, you're going to be able to create as many subdomains as you would like simply because this feature is unlimited. Considering that the website hosting packages are rather powerful, we've decided not to put any cap on the number of subdomains.
