A subdomain is a website address, that is under a main, or a root domain. One example is something.domain.com, in which domain.com is the main domain address, while "something" is the subdomain below it. Every subdomain can have its own site and records i.e. aside from using the domain name as part of the whole web address, a subdomain can be entirely independent and even hosted by a different provider. Employing a subdomain could be very useful if you want to have different web sites which are related in some way. For instance, you could have a web-based store under the main domain as well as a forum under a subdomain in order to supply means for your clients to ask questions and share experiences concerning your products. The benefit of using a subdomain instead of a subfolder is that the websites are going to be separated, so you can update one of them or perform maintenance without affecting the other.

Subdomains in Cloud Website Hosting

When you use cloud website hosting packages you'll be able to create subdomains with only a couple of mouse clicks in your hosting Control Panel. All of them are going to be listed in one location together with the domain names hosted in the account and grouped under their own domain in order to make their management a lot easier. No matter the plan that you choose, you are going to be able to create numerous subdomains and set their access folder or create custom error pages along the way. Additionally, you will have access to lots of functions for any of them with just a mouse click, so from the very same section where you create them you can access their DNS records, files, visitor statistics, etc. Unlike other providers, we haven't limited the number of subdomains which you can have even if you host just one domain name in the account.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers

Our semi-dedicated servers do not have a set limit for the number of subdomains that you can create. Adding a new subdomain within the account takes just a couple of mouse clicks inside the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel and in the process you can select the folder the subdomain will access if it is going to be different from the default one, set up custom error pages, enable FrontPage Extensions if you need them or create a dedicated IP address rather than the shared server one if you have added this upgrade to your semi-dedicated account. As soon as the subdomain is created, you can access logs and visitor stats or you can easily jump to the site files for it inside the File Manager section by using instant access buttons. All subdomains that you've got in the account are going to be conveniently listed under their root domain, so you are going to be able to find and handle any of them with ease.
