A subdomain is a website url, that is under a main, or a root domain. An illustration is something.domain.com, where domain.com is the main domain address, while "something" is the subdomain below it. Every single subdomain can have its own website and records i.e. apart from using the domain name as a part of the whole web address, a subdomain can be entirely independent and even hosted by a different service provider. Employing a subdomain can be quite practical if you want to have different sites which are related in some way. As an example, you can have a web-based store under the main domain along with a forum under a subdomain in order to offer means for your customers to ask questions or share opinions regarding your products. The benefit of using a subdomain rather than a subfolder is that the web sites are going to be separated, so that you can update one of them or perform maintenance not affecting the other.

Subdomains in Shared Web Hosting

When you obtain a shared web hosting plan through us, you're going to be able to create subdomains easily using your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. We have decided not to restrict their number, so even when you host only one domain name in the account, you are going to be able to create as many subdomains as you wish and have a different site for every single one. During the creation of a subdomain, you are able to pick the folder within the account that it will open, create customized error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions and error logs, choose a server shared IP address or a dedicated one if you have such, and much more. All hosted domains and the subdomains you create for them will be conveniently listed in alphabetical order in one location and you are going to be able to gain access to a lot of functions for every 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 you can create. Adding a new subdomain inside the account takes only a few mouse clicks in the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel and in the process you can pick the folder the subdomain will access if it is going to be different from the default one, create customized error pages, enable FrontPage Extensions if you need them or set a dedicated IP address rather than the shared server one if you have added this upgrade to your semi-dedicated account. After the subdomain is set up, you can access logs and visitor stats or you can easily jump to the website files for it inside the File Manager area using fast access buttons. All subdomains that you have in the account will be conveniently listed under their root domain, so you'll be able to find and handle any one of them with ease.
