A subdomain is a website address, that is 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. Every subdomain can have its own website and records i.e. aside from using the domain name as a part of the whole web address, a subdomain can be fully independent and also hosted by a different service provider. Using a subdomain could be very beneficial if you'd like to have different sites that are associated in some way. For example, you can have an on-line store under the main domain and a forum under a subdomain in order to provide means for your customers to ask questions and share thoughts about your products. The main advantage of employing a subdomain rather than a subfolder is that the sites will be separated, so you can update one of them or perform maintenance not affecting the other.
Subdomains in Shared Web Hosting
If you acquire a shared web hosting package from us, you'll be able to create subdomains with ease via your Hepsia website hosting CP. We have decided not to limit their number, so in case you host only 1 domain address in the account, you're going to be able to create as many subdomains as you wish and have a different site for every single one of them. During the creation of a subdomain, you can pick the folder in the account that it's going to open, set up personalized error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions and error logs, pick a server shared IP address or a dedicated one if you have such, and more. All hosted domain names and the subdomains you create for them will be conveniently listed in alphabetical order in one location and you'll be able to gain access to a lot of functions for each one of them through right-click context menus - records, files, etc.
Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Hosting
You will be able to create as many subdomains as you wish with any one of our Linux semi-dedicated packages since we have not set a maximum limit for this feature. The Hepsia web hosting CP will enable you to add a new subdomain with a few clicks and you can access a variety of advanced features during the process - replace the default access folder, select the IP address the subdomain will use from the shared and dedicated ones that are available in your account, activate FrontPage Extensions, add an SSL certificate, and much more. Even if you set up a large number of subdomains, you are going to be able to keep track of them with ease because they will be listed in alphabetical order under their main domain. For any of them, you are able to access the site files or see logs and usage statistics via instant access buttons.
