A subdomain is a website url, that's under a main, or a root domain name. An example is something.domain.com, where domain.com is the main domain name, while "something" is the subdomain below it. Each and every subdomain can have its own site and records i.e. aside from employing the domain name as a part of the whole web address, a subdomain can be totally independent and even hosted by a different provider. Employing a subdomain can be extremely handy if you'd like to have different websites which are associated in some way. For instance, you can have an online store under the main domain as well as a forum under a subdomain so as to provide means for your clients to ask questions or share experiences regarding your products. The benefit of using a subdomain instead of a subfolder is that the websites are going to be separated, so you are able to update one of them or perform maintenance without affecting the other.
Subdomains in Shared Hosting
Our shared hosting packages will permit you to create countless subdomains for any domain address hosted in your account without any difficulty. As long as the main domain name is added, it will take two clicks to create a subdomain and choose what folder it'll open (if different from the default one), create unique error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions, set a shared IP address or a dedicated one, plus much more. All subdomains will be conveniently listed in alphabetical order under their main domain for quick access and management. By right-clicking on any one of them and by using instant access buttons you can view the error logs, visitor statistics or website files for that specific subdomain. We have not set a limit for the total amount of subdomains which you can create with any of our plans, so you can have as many as you wish.
Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers
You are able to create as many subdomains as you want with any one of our Linux semi-dedicated plans because we have not set an upper limit for this feature. The Hepsia website hosting Control Panel will allow you to add a new subdomain with a few clicks and you'll be able to access a number of advanced features during the process - change the default access folder, pick the IP address the subdomain will use from the shared and dedicated ones that are offered in your account, activate FrontPage Extensions, add an SSL certificate, and much more. Even if you set up a large number of subdomains, you will be able to keep track of them with ease since they are going to be listed in alphabetical order under their main domain. For every single one of them, you can also access the website files or see logs and usage statistics via fast access buttons.
