What is a subdomain or a subdirectory hosting?
A subdomain is an internet address that attaches your company or preferred name to a domain name owned by your hosting service provider. A subdomain account does not require you to have your own domain name, and therefore it does not involve domain registration fees. An example of a web address (URL) with subdomain account would be: http://yourcompany.globalfront.net/ Subdirectory hosting is another way of presenting your company to the web. Subdirectory hosting is preferred by smaller companies and organizations that would like to get their website hosted at a minimal cost. With subdirectory hosting, your URL looks like this: http://www.globalfront.
