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. 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 fully independent and also hosted by a different provider. Using a subdomain could be very practical if you wish to have different web sites which are connected in some way. As an example, you could have an online store under the main domain along with a forum under a subdomain in order to supply means for your customers to ask questions and / or share experiences concerning your products. The advantage of using 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 Website Hosting
When you buy a website hosting plan from our company, you are going to be able to create subdomains effortlessly using your Hepsia website hosting CP. We've decided not to restrict their number, so even if you host only 1 domain in the account, you're going to be able to create as many subdomains as you want and have a different site for every one. During the creation of a subdomain, you can choose the folder within the account that it will open, create personalized error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions and error logs, select a server shared IP address or a dedicated one if you have such, and more. All hosted domains and the subdomains that you create for them will be conveniently listed in alphabetical order in one place and you are going to be able to access many functions for each one of them through right-click context menus - records, files, etc.
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 in the account takes only a couple of clicks inside the Hepsia hosting CP and during the process you can pick the folder the subdomain will access if it is going to be different from the default one, set up custom error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions if you need them or create a dedicated IP address instead of the shared server one in case you have added this upgrade to your semi-dedicated account. Once the subdomain is created, you will be able to access logs and visitor stats or easily jump to the website files for it inside the File Manager section using instant access buttons. All subdomains you've got inside the account will be conveniently listed under their root domain, so you will be able to find and manage any one of them easily.
