A subdomain is a website url, that's under a main, or a root domain. One example is something.domain.com, in which domain.com is the main domain, while "something" is the subdomain below it. Every single subdomain can have its own website and records i.e. apart from employing the domain name as a part of the whole web address, a subdomain can be entirely independent and even hosted by a different provider. Employing a subdomain can be very practical if you want to have different sites which are associated in some way. For instance, you could have a web-based store under the main domain plus a forum under a subdomain so as to offer means for your customers to ask questions and share views about your products. The main advantage of employing a subdomain rather than a subfolder is that the websites are going to be separated, so you're able to update one of them or perform maintenance not affecting the other.
Subdomains in Shared Web Hosting
Every single shared web hosting package which we offer will enable you to create many subdomains with no more than a couple of mouse clicks inside your website hosting Control Panel. They are going to be listed in the area in which you create them and arranged under the main domain for more convenience, so you can very easily monitor all of them. Additionally, you can access lots of functions for any of the subdomains using right-click context menus - for example, you can view or modify their DNS records, access the website files, and a lot more. While setting up a new subdomain, you're also going to have many options that you can choose from - specify the default access folder, set customized error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions or select if the subdomain will use a shared or a dedicated IP address. What number of subdomains you'll have is completely up to you because we have not restricted this feature for any one of our packages.
Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers
Our semi-dedicated servers do not have a restriction for the amount of subdomains that you can create. Adding a new subdomain in the account takes just a couple of mouse clicks inside the Hepsia website hosting Control Panel and during the process you can pick the folder the subdomain is going to access if it will be different from the default one, set up custom-made error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions if you need them or set a dedicated IP address rather than the shared server one provided you have added such an upgrade to your semi-dedicated account. When the subdomain is set up, you can access logs and visitor stats or easily jump to the website files for it inside the File Manager area via fast access buttons. All subdomains that you have in the account will be conveniently listed under their root domain, so you are going to be able to find and handle any of them effortlessly.
