A subdomain is a website address, that's under a main, or a root domain name. An illustration 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. aside from using the domain name as part of the whole web address, a subdomain can be entirely independent and also hosted by a different provider. Using a subdomain could be very handy if you'd like to have different sites that are related in some way. As an example, you could have an on-line store under the main domain plus a forum under a subdomain so as to supply means for your clients to ask questions and share views regarding your products. The benefit of using a subdomain instead of a subfolder is that the websites will be separated, so you can update one of them or perform maintenance not affecting the other.

Subdomains in Web Hosting

When you get a web hosting package through us, you will be able to create subdomains effortlessly via your Hepsia hosting CP. We have decided not to limit their amount, so in case you host only one domain in the account, you'll be able to create as many subdomains as you want and have a different site for each and every one of them. During the creation of a subdomain, you'll be able to choose the folder in the account that it's going to open, set up custom error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions and error logs, pick a server shared IP address or a dedicated one if you have such, plus much more. All hosted domain names and the subdomains that you create for them are going to be conveniently listed in alphabetical order in one location and you are going to be able to gain access to numerous functions for each one of them with right-click context menus - records, files, etc.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Hosting

When you buy a semi-dedicated server package, you are going to be able to create as many subdomains as you'd like simply because this feature is unrestricted. Considering that the hosting plans are quite powerful, we have decided not to put any restriction on the number of subdomains. Our advanced Hepsia Control Panel will enable you to create a new subdomain with no more than a couple of mouse clicks, to pick which folder it will access within the account, to activate FrontPage Extensions for it, to create custom error pages, to create a shared or a dedicated IP address if you have one, and many more. To make it easier for you, all of the subdomains are going to be listed under their root domain, so that you can very easily see and manage them. Using fast access links, you will also have the ability to open the site files for each of the subdomains that you have or see its DNS records.
