A subdomain is a website url, that is under a main, or a root domain. An example is something.domain.com, in which domain.com is the main domain name, 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 part of the whole web address, a subdomain can be totally independent and also hosted by a different company. Employing a subdomain could be very handy if you want to have different websites which are associated in some way. As an example, you could have a web-based store under the main domain and a forum under a subdomain so as to supply means for your customers to ask questions and / or share views regarding your products. The benefit of using a subdomain instead of a subfolder is that the web sites will be separated, so that you can update one of them or perform maintenance not affecting the other.

Subdomains in Cloud Website Hosting

If you buy a cloud website hosting plan from us, you'll be able to create subdomains effortlessly through your Hepsia website hosting CP. We have decided not to limit their amount, so even when you host only 1 domain in the account, you will be able to create as many subdomains as you would like and have a different website for every single one of them. During the creation of a subdomain, you can choose the folder in the account that it'll open, set up custom error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions and error logs, select a server shared IP address or a dedicated one if you have such, and much more. All hosted domain names and the subdomains you create for them are going to be conveniently listed in alphabetical order in one location and you will be able to access numerous functions for every single one of them with right-click context menus - records, files, etc.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers

Our semi-dedicated servers haven't got a restriction for the number of subdomains which you can create. Adding a new subdomain in the account takes just a couple of mouse clicks inside the Hepsia hosting CP and in 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, activate FrontPage Extensions if you need them or set a dedicated IP address instead of the shared server one if you have added such an upgrade to your semi-dedicated account. When the subdomain is set up, you'll be able to access logs and visitor statistics or quickly jump to the website files for it in the File Manager area using instant access buttons. All subdomains that you have in 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 with ease.
