A subdomain is a website address, that is under a main, or a root domain. One example is something.domain.com, in which domain.com is the main domain, while "something" is the subdomain below it. Every subdomain can have its own site and records i.e. apart from using the domain name as part of the whole web address, a subdomain can be completely independent and also hosted by a separate provider. Employing a subdomain can be very handy if you wish to have different websites which are associated in some way. For instance, you can have an on-line store under the main domain along with a forum under a subdomain in order to offer means for your customers to ask questions and / or share views about your products. The main advantage of employing 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 without affecting the other.

Subdomains in Hosting

Every single hosting package which we offer will permit you to create numerous subdomains with no more than a couple of clicks in your web hosting CP. They are going to be listed in the area in which you create them and arranged under the main domain for more convenience, so you can very easily monitor every one of them. Additionally, you can access many functions for any one of the subdomains through right-click context menus - for example, you can view or modify their DNS records, access the website files, and much more. While creating a new subdomain, you will also have lots of options that you can select from - define the default access folder, create customized error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions or pick if the subdomain is going to use a shared or a dedicated IP address. The amount of subdomains you will have is 100 % up to you since we have not restricted this feature for any one of our packages.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers

Our semi-dedicated servers do not have a set limit for the number of subdomains which you can create. Adding a new subdomain inside the account takes just a couple of clicks within the Hepsia web hosting CP and throughout the process you can choose the folder the subdomain will access if it will be different from the default one, set up custom error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions if you need them or create a dedicated IP address as opposed to the shared server one provided you have added this upgrade to your semi-dedicated account. Once the subdomain is created, you will be able to access logs and visitor statistics or you can quickly jump to the site files for it within the File Manager area via instant access buttons. All subdomains that you've got inside the account are going to be conveniently listed under their root domain, so you'll be able to find and handle any one of them easily.
