A subdomain is a website address, which is 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 using the domain name as part of the whole web address, a subdomain can be entirely independent and also hosted by a separate service provider. Employing a subdomain can be very useful if you'd like to have different websites which are related in some way. For instance, you could have an online store under the main domain and a forum under a subdomain in order to supply means for your clients to ask questions and / or share thoughts concerning your products. The main advantage of employing a subdomain as opposed to a subfolder is that the websites are going to be separated, so you can update one of them or perform maintenance without affecting the other.

Subdomains in Shared Hosting

If you buy a shared hosting plan from our company, you are going to be able to create subdomains easily through your Hepsia website hosting CP. We have decided not to restrict their amount, so even if you host only 1 domain name in the account, you'll be able to create as many subdomains as you wish and have a different website for every single one of them. During the creation of a subdomain, you can pick the folder in the account that it's going to open, create personalized error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions and error logs, choose a server shared IP address or a dedicated one if you have such, and a lot more. All hosted domain addresses and the subdomains that you create for them are going to be conveniently listed in alphabetical order in one place and you are going to be able to gain access to many functions for every single one of them through right-click context menus - records, files, etc.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you purchase a semi-dedicated server plan, you will be able to create as many subdomains as you wish simply because this feature is unlimited. For the reason that the hosting plans are rather powerful, we've decided not to set any restriction on the number of subdomains. Our advanced Hepsia Control Panel will permit you to create a new subdomain with no more than a few mouse clicks, to choose which folder it'll access inside the account, to activate FrontPage Extensions for it, to set up unique error pages, to set a shared or a dedicated IP address if you have one, and a lot more. For your convenience, all of the subdomains are going to be listed under their root domain, so that you can very easily see and handle them. With quick access links, you'll be able to open the website files for any one of the subdomains that you have or check out its DNS records.
