A subdomain is a website url, which is under a main, or a root domain name. An 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 website and records i.e. aside from using the domain name as part of the whole web address, a subdomain can be fully independent and even hosted by a separate provider. Employing a subdomain could be very beneficial if you want to have different sites that are associated in some way. As an example, you could have an on-line store under the main domain as well as a forum under a subdomain so as to supply means for your customers to ask questions and share thoughts concerning your products. The main advantage of using a subdomain as opposed to a subfolder is that the web sites 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

Each cloud hosting plan that we supply will enable you to create hundreds of subdomains with no more than a couple of mouse clicks in your web hosting Control Panel. 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 easily monitor all of them. In addition, you can access a lot of functions for any one of the subdomains via right-click context menus - as an example, you can view or change their DNS records, access the site files, and a lot more. While creating a new subdomain, you'll also have lots of options that you can choose from - specify the default access folder, set customized error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions or choose if the subdomain will use a shared or a dedicated IP address. The amount of subdomains you will have is completely up to you because we have not restricted this feature for any one of our packages.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Hosting

You are able to create as many subdomains as you want with any one of our Linux semi-dedicated hosting packages since we haven't set an upper limit for this feature. The Hepsia web hosting Control Panel allows you to add a new subdomain with 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 provided in your account, activate FrontPage Extensions, add an SSL certificate, and more. Even if you create a huge amount of subdomains, you'll 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 can even access the website files or see logs and usage stats using fast access buttons.
