A subdomain is a website url, that is under a main, or a root domain. An illustration is something.domain.com, in which 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. aside from using the domain name as part of the whole web address, a subdomain can be entirely independent and even hosted by a different company. Employing a subdomain can be extremely useful if you'd like to have different websites which are connected in some way. For instance, you could have an online store under the main domain along with a forum under a subdomain in order to provide means for your clients to ask questions and share experiences concerning your products. The benefit of employing a subdomain rather than a subfolder is that the sites are going to be separated, so you are able to update one of them or perform maintenance not affecting the other.

Subdomains in Shared Website Hosting

Every shared website hosting package which we offer will enable you to create numerous subdomains with no more than a couple of clicks inside your hosting Control Panel. They are going to be listed in the area in which you create them and arranged under the main domain for more convenience, so that you're able to easily monitor all of them. Additionally, you can access many functions for any of the subdomains using right-click context menus - as an example, you can view or change their DNS records, access the site files, and much more. While setting up a new subdomain, you're also going to have lots of options that you can pick from - define the default access folder, set customized error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions or pick if the subdomain is going to use a shared or a dedicated IP address. What number of subdomains you are going to have is 100 % up to you as we have not restricted this feature for any one of our plans.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers

Our semi-dedicated servers don't have a limit for the amount of subdomains which you can create. Adding a new subdomain inside the account takes just a couple of mouse clicks inside the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel and in the process you can choose the folder the subdomain is going to access if it will be different from the default one, set up tailor-made error pages, enable FrontPage Extensions if you need them or create a dedicated IP address rather than the shared server one in case you have added such an upgrade to your semi-dedicated account. After the subdomain is created, you can access logs and visitor stats or swiftly jump to the website files for it within the File Manager area using fast access buttons. All subdomains that you have within the account will be conveniently listed under their root domain, so you'll be able to find and control any one of them effortlessly.
