Frequently Asked Questions

  1. What is the purpose of a subdomain, and when should I create one?

A subdomain serves as a way to create separate sections or functionalities within your website while keeping them connected to your main domain. Subdomains are often used for various purposes, such as creating a blog (blog.yourdomain.com), setting up a shop (shop.yourdomain.com), or hosting specific content or applications. You should consider creating a subdomain when you want to organize your website content or provide distinct web experiences for different sections of your audience.

  1. Can I create multiple subdomains under the same main domain?

Yes, you can create multiple subdomains under the same main domain. Plesk Control Panel allows you to add as many subdomains as needed, provided your hosting plan supports it. Each subdomain you create can be configured independently with its own set of settings, such as a separate directory or specific permissions. This flexibility makes Plesk a powerful tool for website administrators looking to expand their online presence and improve website organization.
