A subdomain is a website url, that's under a main, or a root domain. An example is something.domain.com, where domain.com is the main domain name, while "something" is the subdomain below it. Every single 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 even hosted by a separate company. Employing a subdomain can be very handy if you want to have different sites that are related in some way. As an example, you could have an on-line store under the main domain as well as a forum under a subdomain in order to offer means for your customers to ask questions and / or share thoughts about your products. The benefit of using a subdomain rather than a subfolder is that the web sites are going to be separated, so you can update one of them or perform maintenance without affecting the other.

Subdomains in Shared Website Hosting

If you purchase a shared website hosting package from our company, you will be able to create subdomains with ease via your Hepsia website hosting CP. We have decided not to limit their number, so even when you host only one domain name in the account, you are going to be able to create as many subdomains as you want and have a different website for each and every one. During the creation of a subdomain, you are able to choose the folder in the account that it's going to open, create personalized 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 domain addresses and the subdomains you create for them will be conveniently listed in alphabetical order in one place and you are going to be able to gain access to many functions for every one of them through right-click context menus - records, files, etc.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers

Our semi-dedicated servers do not have a restriction for the amount of subdomains which you can create. Adding a new subdomain inside the account takes only a few clicks inside the Hepsia web hosting CP and in the process you can select the folder the subdomain is going to access if it is going to be different from the default one, create tailor-made error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions if you need them or set a dedicated IP address as opposed to the shared server one if you have added this upgrade to your semi-dedicated account. As soon as the subdomain is created, you'll be able to access logs and visitor statistics or easily jump to the site files for it within the File Manager area using instant access buttons. All subdomains that you've got inside the account are going to be conveniently listed under their root domain, so you're going to be able to find and manage any of them easily.
