A subdomain is a web address, which is under a main, or a root domain. One example is something.domain.com, where domain.com is the main domain, while "something" is the subdomain below it. Every single subdomain can have its own site 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 different provider. Using a subdomain can be very handy if you'd like to have different websites which are related in some way. For example, you can have a web-based store under the main domain plus a forum under a subdomain so as to provide means for your clients to ask questions and / or share opinions concerning your products. The main advantage of employing a subdomain rather than a subfolder is that the web sites will be separated, so that you can update one of them or perform maintenance not affecting the other.
Subdomains in Shared Website Hosting
When you get a shared website hosting package from us, you will be able to create subdomains effortlessly through your Hepsia website hosting CP. We've decided not to limit their amount, so in case you host just one domain name in the account, you are going to be able to create as many subdomains as you want and have a different site for every single one. During the creation of a subdomain, you can select the folder in the account that it'll open, create personalized error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions and error logs, choose a server shared IP address or a dedicated one if you have such, plus much more. All hosted domain names and the subdomains you create for them are going to be conveniently listed in alphabetical order in one place and you are going to be able to access numerous functions for every one of them through right-click context menus - records, files, etc.
Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers
You will be able to create as many subdomains as you wish with any of our semi-dedicated servers as we haven't set an upper limit for this feature. The Hepsia hosting Control Panel will enable you to add a new subdomain with only 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 available in your account, activate FrontPage Extensions, add an SSL certificate, and much more. Even if you set up a large number of subdomains, you're going to be able to keep track of all of them with ease since they are going to be listed in alphabetical order below their main domain. For each of them, you are able to access the site files or check out logs and usage stats using fast access buttons.
