A subdomain is a website address, which is under a main, or a root domain name. An illustration is something.domain.com, in which domain.com is the main domain name, while "something" is the subdomain below it. Every subdomain can have its own site and records i.e. aside from using the domain name as part of the whole web address, a subdomain can be completely independent and even hosted by a different company. Using a subdomain can be extremely useful if you'd like to have different websites that are related in some way. For example, you can have an on-line store under the main domain along with a forum under a subdomain in order to offer means for your clients to ask questions or share views concerning your products. The best thing about employing a subdomain as opposed to a subfolder is that the sites are going to be separated, so you can update one of them or perform maintenance not affecting the other.

Subdomains in Web Hosting

When you acquire a web hosting plan from our company, you're going to be able to create subdomains effortlessly via your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. We've decided not to restrict their number, so even if you host just one domain address in the account, you will be able to create as many subdomains as you want and have a different website for every one. During the creation of a subdomain, you can select the folder within the account that it'll open, create custom error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions and error logs, select a server shared IP address or a dedicated one if you have such, and much more. All hosted domain addresses and the subdomains you create for them are going to be conveniently listed in alphabetical order in one location and you will be able to gain access to numerous functions for each one of them with right-click context menus - records, files, etc.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers

Our semi-dedicated hosting plans haven't got a set limit for the number of subdomains you can create. Adding a new subdomain in the account takes only a couple of mouse clicks in the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel and throughout the process you can choose the folder the subdomain is going to access if it will be different from the default one, create customized error pages, enable FrontPage Extensions if you need them or create a dedicated IP address rather than the shared server one provided you have added this upgrade to your semi-dedicated account. Once the subdomain is set up, you'll be able to access logs and visitor statistics or you can swiftly jump to the website files for it in the File Manager area through quick access buttons. All subdomains that you've got in the account are going to be conveniently listed under their root domain, so you'll be able to find and handle every single one of them with ease.
