A subdomain is a web address, that's under a main, or a root domain name. One example is something.domain.com, where domain.com is the main domain name, while "something" is the subdomain below it. Each subdomain can have its own site and records i.e. apart from employing the domain name as part of the whole web address, a subdomain can be totally independent and also hosted by a separate service provider. Employing a subdomain can be very handy if you wish to have different web sites that are connected in some way. As an example, you can have a web-based store under the main domain plus a forum under a subdomain in order to offer means for your customers to ask questions and / or share opinions about your products. The benefit of using a subdomain rather than a subfolder is that the sites will be separated, so that you can update one of them or perform maintenance not affecting the other.

Subdomains in Cloud Hosting

When you get a cloud hosting plan from our company, you are going to be able to create subdomains with ease through your Hepsia website hosting Control Panel. We've decided not to restrict their amount, so in case you host only one domain name in the account, you're going to be able to create as many subdomains as you would like and have a different site for each one of them. During the creation of a subdomain, you'll be able to select the folder in the account that it will open, create personalized error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions and error logs, pick a server shared IP address or a dedicated one if you have such, and a lot more. All hosted domain names and the subdomains that you create for them are going to be conveniently listed in alphabetical order in one place and you will be able to gain access to lots of functions for every single one of them with right-click context menus - records, files, etc.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers

Our Linux semi-dedicated servers do not have a restriction for the number of subdomains you can create. Adding a new subdomain within the account takes just a couple of mouse clicks inside the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel and during the process you can select the folder the subdomain will access if it will be different from the default one, set up custom error pages, enable FrontPage Extensions if you need them or create a dedicated IP address instead of the shared server one in case you have added such an upgrade to your semi-dedicated account. When the subdomain is created, you can access logs and visitor statistics or quickly jump to the site files for it in the File Manager section by using fast access buttons. All subdomains that you have within the account are going to be conveniently listed under their root domain, so you will be able to find and manage any one of them with ease.
