A subdomain is a website url, which is under a main, or a root domain name. An example is something.domain.com, where domain.com is the main domain address, while "something" is the subdomain below it. Every single subdomain can have its own website and records i.e. apart from using the domain name as a part of the whole web address, a subdomain can be completely independent and even hosted by a separate company. Using a subdomain can be extremely handy if you'd like to have different sites that are connected in some way. As an example, you may have an online store under the main domain and a forum under a subdomain in order to provide means for your clients to ask questions and / or share opinions concerning your products. The benefit of employing a subdomain as opposed to a subfolder is that the sites will be separated, so you are able to update one of them or perform maintenance without affecting the other.
Subdomains in Web Hosting
When you buy a web hosting package from us, you'll be able to create subdomains effortlessly using your Hepsia hosting CP. We have decided not to limit their amount, so in case you host just one domain name in the account, you are going to be able to create as many subdomains as you would like and have a different site for each and every one of them. During the creation of a subdomain, you can choose the folder in the account that it's going to open, set up custom error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions and error logs, choose a server shared IP address or a dedicated one if you have such, and a lot more. All hosted domains and the subdomains you create for them will be conveniently listed in alphabetical order in one spot and you will be able to access lots of functions for each one of them through right-click context menus - records, files, etc.
Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers
You’ll be able to create as many subdomains as you wish with any one of our semi-dedicated plans because we haven't set an upper limit for this feature. The Hepsia website hosting Control Panel allows you to add a new subdomain with a few mouse clicks and you can access a variety of advanced features during the process - change the default access folder, select 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 more. Even if you set up a huge amount of subdomains, you'll be able to keep track of all 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 check out logs and usage stats using instant access buttons.
