Subdomains in free hosting

Introduction

miHosting free hosting lets you create subdomains, which is useful for organizing parts of the same project, such as a blog, a staging area or a specific section of the site.

A subdomain depends on the main domain and does not replace the need for separate independent domains.

What a subdomain is

If your domain is yoursite.com, a subdomain could be:

• blog.yoursite.com
• clients.yoursite.com
• shop.yoursite.com

Each one can have its own folder and content while still belonging to the same main domain.

How to create one

1. Open DirectAdmin.
2. Find the subdomains section.
3. Enter the name you want to create.
4. Select the main domain.
5. Save it and upload the corresponding content.

Useful tips

• use subdomains to extend the same project
• do not create unnecessary subdomains
• review SSL if you will use HTTPS
• make sure the files are in the correct folder

Frequently asked questions

Does free hosting include subdomains

Yes. You can manage them from the panel when the use remains reasonable.

Does a subdomain require another domain

No. It depends on the main domain.

Can I use subdomains to host many different projects

That is not the best approach in a free account. For several independent projects, another structure or a higher plan usually makes more sense.

Conclusion

Subdomains are a useful tool for organizing a website or extending a project inside the same domain. Used properly, they give you more flexibility without leaving the free hosting environment.
