A subdomain is a web address, that's under a main, or a root domain name. An example is something.domain.com, where domain.com is the main domain, 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 a part of the whole web address, a subdomain can be completely independent and even hosted by a different service provider. Using a subdomain could be very useful if you'd like to have different websites which are connected in some way. For example, you may have an on-line store under the main domain plus a forum under a subdomain so as to supply means for your clients to ask questions or share views concerning your products. The main advantage of 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 Cloud Website Hosting

If you get a cloud website hosting plan from our company, you will be able to create subdomains effortlessly using your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. We have decided not to limit their amount, so even if you host only one domain address in the account, you are going to be able to create as many subdomains as you want and have a different website for every single one. During the creation of a subdomain, you are able to choose the folder within the account that it will open, create customized error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions and error logs, pick a server shared IP address or a dedicated one if you have such, plus much more. All hosted domain addresses and the subdomains you create for them will be conveniently listed in alphabetical order in one location and you will be able to gain access to numerous functions for every single one of them with right-click context menus - records, files, etc.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers

Our Linux semi-dedicated servers haven't got a restriction for the number of subdomains that you can create. Adding a new subdomain in the account takes just a few mouse clicks in the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel and in the process you can select the folder the subdomain will access if it will be different from the default one, set up tailor-made error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions if you need them or set a dedicated IP address as opposed to the shared server one in case you have added this upgrade to your semi-dedicated account. After the subdomain is created, you can access logs and visitor statistics or you can quickly jump to the site files for it in the File Manager section via instant access buttons. All subdomains that you've got within the account will be conveniently listed under their root domain, so you're going to be able to find and manage any of them easily.
