A subdomain is a website url, that is under a main, or a root domain name. One example is something.domain.com, where domain.com is the main domain name, 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 totally independent and also hosted by a separate service provider. Employing a subdomain can be extremely handy if you want to have different sites that are related in some way. For example, you could have an online store under the main domain and a forum under a subdomain so as to provide means for your clients to ask questions and / or share opinions about your products. The main advantage of using a subdomain instead of 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 Hosting
Each and every shared hosting plan we provide will permit you to create numerous subdomains with no more than a couple of mouse clicks within your website hosting CP. They'll all be listed in the section where you create them and grouped under the main domain for more convenience, so that you're able to very easily keep tabs on them all. Furthermore, you can access many functions for any of the subdomains via right-click context menus - for instance, you can view or modify their DNS records, access the website files, and a lot more. While creating a new subdomain, you are also going to have numerous options that you can select from - specify the default access folder, create customized error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions or choose if the subdomain is going to use a shared or a dedicated IP address. The number of subdomains you are going to have is entirely up to you since we have not limited this feature for any one of our packages.
Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers
Our semi-dedicated plans don't have a restriction for the amount of subdomains which you can create. Adding a new subdomain in the account takes just a couple of mouse clicks inside the Hepsia website hosting Control Panel and during the process you can pick the folder the subdomain is going to access if it will be different from the default one, set up customized error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions if you need them or create a dedicated IP address as opposed to the shared server one in case you have added this upgrade to your semi-dedicated account. When the subdomain is created, you'll be able to access logs and visitor stats or swiftly jump to the website files for it within the File Manager area through fast access buttons. All subdomains that you've got within the account are going to be conveniently listed under their root domain, so you're going to be able to find and manage every single one of them effortlessly.
