A subdomain is a web address, that is under a main, or a root domain name. One example is something.domain.com, where domain.com is the main domain address, while "something" is the subdomain below it. Each subdomain can have its own website and records i.e. apart from employing the domain name as a part of the whole web address, a subdomain can be fully independent and also hosted by a separate provider. Employing a subdomain can be extremely handy if you wish to have different web sites that are associated in some way. As an example, you can have an online store under the main domain as well as a forum under a subdomain so as to offer means for your customers to ask questions and share thoughts about your products. The best thing about employing a subdomain instead of a subfolder is that the sites will be separated, so you can update one of them or perform maintenance without affecting the other.

Subdomains in Cloud Web Hosting

Every cloud web hosting plan we offer will permit you to create hundreds of subdomains with no more than a few clicks in your website hosting Control Panel. They're going to be listed in the area where you create them and arranged under the main domain for more convenience, so that you can easily keep an eye on every one of them. In addition, you can access lots of functions for any of the subdomains using right-click context menus - for example, you can view or edit their DNS records, access the site files, plus much more. While setting up a new subdomain, you're also going to have numerous options that you can select from - determine the default access folder, create unique error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions or choose if the subdomain will use a shared or a dedicated IP address. How many subdomains you are going to have is entirely up to you as we haven't restricted this feature for any one of our packages.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Our Linux semi-dedicated hosting packages haven't got a restriction for the amount of subdomains that you can create. Adding a new subdomain inside the account takes only a couple of mouse clicks in the Hepsia website hosting CP and in the process you can select the folder the subdomain is going to access if it is going to be different from the default one, set up customized error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions if you need them or create a dedicated IP address instead of the shared server one provided you have added such an upgrade to your semi-dedicated account. As soon as the subdomain is created, you can access logs and visitor statistics or you can quickly jump to the website files for it in the File Manager section using quick access buttons. All subdomains that you have inside the account are going to be conveniently listed under their root domain, so you are going to be able to find and manage any of them easily.
