A subdomain is a website url, that is under a main, or a root domain name. An example is something.domain.com, in which domain.com is the main domain name, 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 totally independent and also hosted by a separate service provider. Using a subdomain can be quite beneficial if you wish to have different websites that are connected in some way. As an example, you may have a web-based store under the main domain along with a forum under a subdomain so as to provide means for your clients to ask questions and share thoughts concerning your products. The best thing about using a subdomain as opposed to a subfolder is that the sites will be separated, so you're able to update one of them or perform maintenance not affecting the other.

Subdomains in Hosting

Each and every hosting plan which we supply will permit you to create many subdomains with no more than a few clicks in your web hosting CP. They're 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 every one of them. Furthermore, you can access a lot of functions for any of the subdomains through right-click context menus - as an example, you can view or edit their DNS records, access the website files, and a lot more. While setting up a new subdomain, you are also going to have lots of options that you can pick from - specify the default access folder, create custom error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions or pick if the subdomain will use a shared or a dedicated IP address. What number of subdomains you will have is totally up to you as we haven't restricted this feature for any of our plans.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers

Our semi-dedicated hosting plans haven't got a set limit for the number of subdomains that you can create. Adding a new subdomain within the account takes only a couple of clicks within the Hepsia web hosting CP and throughout the process you can select the folder the subdomain is going to access if it is going to be different from the default one, set up customized error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions if you need them or set a dedicated IP address as opposed to the shared server one in case you have added this upgrade to your semi-dedicated account. As soon as the subdomain is created, you'll be able to access logs and visitor stats or quickly jump to the site files for it inside the File Manager section through fast access buttons. All subdomains you have in the account will be conveniently listed under their root domain, so you'll be able to find and manage every single one of them with ease.
