Wildcard Subdomains
Support for unlimited wildcard subdomains is included free of charge with all of our hosting plans; they simply allow anything.yourname.com to redirect to yourname.com. This is particularly useful in achieving higher search engine rankings when marketing your site. When the search engines see a keyword in your domain name (including something.yourdomain.com), they are likely to give you a much higher priority in search results. For example, Bob of bobsmechanical.com might use wildcard subdomains to index all of the following domains (subdomains) separately with the search engines in order to gain much more exposure under all of these keywords:
brakes.bobsmechanical.com suspension.bobsmechanical.com radiator.bobsmechanical.com alternator.bobsmechanical.com fuelsystem.bobsmechanical.com
All of these subdomains would simply automatically redirect to Bob's main website.
With competing services, you would typically have to setup each of these subdomains individually, and they would often each require their own hosting account!
Note that, because of the nature of wildcard subdomains, each top level domain (yourname.com, as opposed to something.yourname.com) using wildcard subdomains requires a static IP address. LFC Hosting charges only $5 USD/month per static IP, whereas competing services typically charge a might higher rate.
