A subdomain is a website address, which is under a main, or a root domain name. An illustration is something.domain.com, where domain.com is the main domain address, while "something" is the subdomain below it. Each subdomain can have its own site and records i.e. apart from employing the domain name as a part of the whole web address, a subdomain can be fully independent and also hosted by a different provider. Employing a subdomain can be quite useful if you wish to have different websites that are associated in some way. As an example, you could have an on-line store under the main domain and a forum under a subdomain so as to supply means for your clients to ask questions and / or share views concerning your products. The main advantage of employing a subdomain instead of a subfolder is that the sites will be separated, so you are able to update one of them or perform maintenance without affecting the other.

Subdomains in Shared Hosting

Every single shared hosting package which we provide will permit you to create numerous subdomains with no more than a couple of mouse clicks within your website hosting Control Panel. They're going to be listed in the area where you create them and grouped under the main domain for more convenience, so that you're able to very easily keep tabs on them all. In addition, you can access a lot of functions for any of the subdomains using right-click context menus - for example, you can view or edit their DNS records, access the site files, and a lot more. While creating a new subdomain, you are also going to have a number of options that you can pick from - determine the default access folder, create custom error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions or select if the subdomain is going to use a shared or a dedicated IP address. How many subdomains you will have is entirely up to you since we haven't limited this feature for any one of our packages.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers

Our semi-dedicated hosting plans don't have a limit for the amount of subdomains which you can create. Adding a new subdomain within the account takes just a couple of clicks inside the Hepsia website hosting Control Panel and throughout the process you can select the folder the subdomain will access if it will be different from the default one, set up custom-made error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions if you need them or create a dedicated IP address instead of the shared server one in case you have added this upgrade to your semi-dedicated account. When the subdomain is created, you can access logs and visitor stats or easily jump to the site files for it inside the File Manager area through instant access buttons. All subdomains you've got within the account are going to be conveniently listed under their root domain, so you'll be able to find and handle any one of them effortlessly.
