A subdomain is a website address, that is under a main, or a root domain. An example is something.domain.com, in which domain.com is the main domain, while "something" is the subdomain below it. Each 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 entirely independent and even hosted by a separate service provider. Employing a subdomain can be extremely useful if you want to have different web sites that are connected in some way. For instance, you could have an on-line store under the main domain along with a forum under a subdomain in order to provide means for your customers to ask questions and / or share thoughts about your products. The benefit of employing a subdomain instead of a subfolder is that the sites will be separated, so you are able to update one of them or perform maintenance not affecting the other.
Subdomains in Shared Web Hosting
With our shared web hosting packages you'll be able to create subdomains with only a couple of clicks in your web hosting Control Panel. All of them will be listed in a single spot along with the domain names hosted in the account and arranged under their own domain so as to make their management a lot easier. No matter the plan that you choose, you are going to be able to create many subdomains and set their access folder or set up custom error pages along the way. Additionally, you will have access to many functions for any of them with just a click, so from the exact same section in which you create them you can access their DNS records, files, visitor statistics, etc. Unlike other companies, we haven't restricted the number of subdomains you can have even if you host only one domain name in the account.
Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Hosting
You can create as many subdomains as you want with any one of our Linux semi-dedicated hosting since we have not set a maximum limit for this feature. The Hepsia web hosting CP will allow you to add a new subdomain with just a few mouse clicks and you'll be able to access a variety of advanced features during the process - change the default access folder, pick the IP address the subdomain will use from the shared and dedicated ones that are offered in your account, activate FrontPage Extensions, add an SSL certificate, and much more. Even if you create a large number of subdomains, you will be able to keep track of them with ease because they are going to be listed in alphabetical order below their main domain. For any one of them, you are able to access the site files or view logs and usage stats using instant access buttons.
