A subdomain is a web address, which is under a main, or a root domain. An example is something.domain.com, in which domain.com is the main domain, while "something" is the subdomain below it. Each and every subdomain can have its own website and records i.e. aside from employing the domain name as a part of the whole web address, a subdomain can be fully independent and also hosted by a separate provider. Using a subdomain could be very practical if you'd like to have different sites that are connected in some way. As an example, you can have an online store under the main domain along with a forum under a subdomain in order to supply means for your clients to ask questions and / or share experiences regarding your products. The best thing about employing a subdomain as opposed to a subfolder is that the web sites will be separated, so you can update one of them or perform maintenance without affecting the other.

Subdomains in Cloud Website Hosting

When you obtain a cloud website hosting plan from us, you'll be able to create subdomains easily using your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. We have decided not to limit their amount, so in case you host just one domain address in the account, you'll be able to create as many subdomains as you wish and have a different website for each one. During the creation of a subdomain, you are able to choose the folder in the account that it'll open, create custom error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions and error logs, choose a server shared IP address or a dedicated one if you have such, and more. All hosted domain names and the subdomains you create for them will be conveniently listed in alphabetical order in one location and you'll be able to gain access to lots of functions for each one of them through right-click context menus - records, files, etc.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers

When you get a semi-dedicated server package, you'll be able to create as many subdomains as you'd like because this feature is unrestricted. Considering that the web hosting plans are quite powerful, we have decided not to set any cap on the number of subdomains. Our sophisticated Hepsia Control Panel will permit you to create a new subdomain with no more than a couple of mouse clicks, to select which folder it'll access within the account, to enable FrontPage Extensions for it, to set up unique error pages, to set a shared or a dedicated IP address if you have one, and more. To make it easier for you, all subdomains are going to be listed under their root domain, so that you can easily see and manage them. Using quick access links, you will also have the ability to open the website files for any of the subdomains that you have or see its DNS records.
