A subdomain is a web address, that is under a main, or a root domain. An example is something.domain.com, in which domain.com is the main domain name, while "something" is the subdomain below it. Every single subdomain can have its own site and records i.e. apart from using the domain name as a part of the whole web address, a subdomain can be totally independent and also hosted by a separate service provider. Employing a subdomain could be very handy if you want to have different sites that are associated in some way. For example, you may have a web-based store under the main domain and a forum under a subdomain in order to provide means for your clients to ask questions or share thoughts regarding your products. The advantage of employing a subdomain instead of a subfolder is that the websites are going to be separated, so that you can update one of them or perform maintenance without affecting the other.

Subdomains in Shared Website Hosting

Every single shared website hosting package we offer will allow you to create numerous subdomains with no more than a couple of clicks in your web hosting Control Panel. They are going to be listed in the area where you create them and grouped under the main domain for more convenience, so you can very easily keep track of them all. Furthermore, you can access many functions for any one of the subdomains through right-click context menus - as an example, you can view or modify their DNS records, access the website files, and much more. While setting up a new subdomain, you'll also have a number of options that you can select from - define the default access folder, create custom error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions or select if the subdomain is going to use a shared or a dedicated IP address. The amount of subdomains you are going to have is totally up to you as we have not limited this feature for any one of our packages.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers

Our semi-dedicated servers haven't got a restriction for the amount of subdomains which you can create. Adding a new subdomain inside the account takes only a couple of mouse clicks inside the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel and during the process you can pick the folder the subdomain is going to access if it is going to be different from the default one, create tailor-made error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions if you need them or set a dedicated IP address instead of the shared server one in case you have added such an upgrade to your semi-dedicated account. Once the subdomain is created, you'll be able to access logs and visitor stats or you can quickly jump to the website files for it inside the File Manager area by using instant access buttons. All subdomains that you've got in the account will be conveniently listed under their root domain, so you'll be able to find and handle every single one of them with ease.
