A subdomain is a website address, which is under a main, or a root domain name. One example is something.domain.com, in which domain.com is the main domain address, while "something" is the subdomain below it. Each and 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 entirely independent and also hosted by a separate provider. Employing a subdomain could be very handy if you want to have different sites which are related in some way. As an example, you may have an on-line store under the main domain along with a forum under a subdomain in order to offer means for your clients to ask questions and / or share thoughts about your products. The benefit of using a subdomain rather than a subfolder is that the sites are going to be separated, so you can update one of them or perform maintenance not affecting the other.

Subdomains in Shared Website Hosting

When you acquire a shared website hosting package from our company, you'll be able to create subdomains easily using your Hepsia website hosting CP. We've decided not to restrict their amount, so even when you host only one domain in the account, you will be able to create as many subdomains as you want and have a different site for each one of them. During the creation of a subdomain, you can choose the folder inside the account that it will open, create customized error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions and error logs, choose 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 gain access to lots of functions for every one of them through right-click context menus - records, files, etc.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers

You’re able to create as many subdomains as you wish with any of our semi-dedicated hosting plans as we have not set an upper limit for this feature. The Hepsia web hosting CP will permit you to add a new subdomain with just a few mouse clicks and you will be able to access a number of advanced features during the process - replace the default access folder, pick the IP address the subdomain will use from the shared and dedicated ones which are available in your account, activate FrontPage Extensions, add an SSL certificate, and more. Even if you set up a great number of subdomains, you will be able to keep track of all of them with ease because they are going to be listed in alphabetical order under their main domain. For any of them, you can also access the website files or view logs and usage statistics through fast access buttons.
