A subdomain is a website address, that's under a main, or a root domain. 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 website and records i.e. apart from employing the domain name as part of the whole web address, a subdomain can be fully independent and also hosted by a separate provider. Employing a subdomain can be quite handy if you want to have different sites that are associated in some way. For instance, you may have an online store under the main domain along with a forum under a subdomain so as to supply means for your customers to ask questions and share opinions concerning your products. The best thing about employing a subdomain rather than a subfolder is that the websites are going to be separated, so that you can update one of them or perform maintenance not affecting the other.

Subdomains in Cloud Hosting

Each cloud hosting package that we offer will permit you to create numerous subdomains with no more than a couple of clicks inside your hosting CP. They'll all be listed in the section in which you create them and arranged under the main domain for more convenience, so that you're able to easily monitor every one of them. Furthermore, you can access lots of functions for any of the subdomains through right-click context menus - for instance, you can view or change their DNS records, access the site files, and a lot more. While setting up a new subdomain, you're also going to have lots of options that you can pick from - specify the default access folder, create customized error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions or pick if the subdomain is going to use a shared or a dedicated IP address. The amount of subdomains you are going to have is completely up to you because we haven't limited this feature for any of our plans.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers

Our semi-dedicated hosting service haven't got a restriction for the amount of subdomains which you can create. Adding a new subdomain in the account takes just a few mouse clicks in the Hepsia website hosting CP and during the process you can choose the folder the subdomain will access if it will be different from the default one, create tailor-made error pages, enable FrontPage Extensions if you need them or create a dedicated IP address instead of the shared server one if you have added this upgrade to your semi-dedicated account. When the subdomain is created, you will be able to access logs and visitor stats or you can quickly jump to the site files for it within the File Manager section by using fast access buttons. All subdomains you've got inside the account will be conveniently listed under their root domain, so you are going to be able to find and handle any one of them easily.
