A subdomain is a web 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 and every subdomain can have its own website and records i.e. aside from using 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 very useful if you wish to have different sites that are connected in some way. For example, you may have a web-based store under the main domain along with a forum under a subdomain so as to offer means for your clients to ask questions and / or share opinions regarding your products. The benefit of employing a subdomain instead of a subfolder is that the websites are going to be separated, so you are able to update one of them or perform maintenance not affecting the other.

Subdomains in Cloud Hosting

If you get a cloud hosting plan from us, you'll be able to create subdomains easily through your Hepsia website hosting CP. We have decided not to restrict their number, so even if you host just one domain in the account, you will be able to create as many subdomains as you want and have a different site for every single one of them. During the creation of a subdomain, you are able to select the folder inside the account that it will open, create custom error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions and error logs, pick a server shared IP address or a dedicated one if you have such, plus much more. All hosted domain names and the subdomains that 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 many functions for every one of them through right-click context menus - records, files, etc.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you acquire a semi-dedicated server package, you are going to be able to create as many subdomains as you wish since this feature is unrestricted.

Our advanced Hepsia Control Panel will enable you to create a new subdomain with no more than a few mouse clicks, to pick which folder it'll access in the account, to enable FrontPage Extensions for it, to create unique error pages, to set a shared or a dedicated IP address if you have one, and many more. To make it easier for you, all subdomains will be listed under their root domain, so you can effortlessly see and manage them. Through instant access links, you will also have the ability to open the site files for any of the subdomains that you have or view its DNS records.
