A subdomain is a website address, which is under a main, or a root domain. An illustration 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 site and records i.e. apart from using the domain name as part of the whole web address, a subdomain can be totally independent and even hosted by a different provider. Using a subdomain can be quite beneficial if you wish to have different websites that are associated 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 provide means for your clients to ask questions or share views about your products. The benefit of employing a subdomain as opposed to a subfolder is that the websites will be separated, so you're able to update one of them or perform maintenance not affecting the other.
Subdomains in Website Hosting
Our website hosting plans will enable you to create countless subdomains for every domain name hosted within your account without any problem. Provided that the main domain is added, it will take two mouse clicks to set up a subdomain and pick what folder it's going to open (if different from the default one), set custom error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions, set a shared IP address or a dedicated one, and much more. All subdomains are going to be conveniently listed in alphabetical order under their main domain for quick access and control. By right-clicking on any one of them and by using instant access buttons you can view the error logs, visitor statistics or site files for that particular subdomain. We have not set a restriction for the total amount of subdomains which you can create with any of our plans, so you can have as many as you wish.
Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Hosting
When you get a semi-dedicated server plan, you'll be able to create as many subdomains as you want simply because this feature is unrestricted. For the reason that the web hosting packages are rather 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 few mouse clicks, to select which folder it's going to access within the account, to activate FrontPage Extensions for it, to set up unique error pages, to set a shared or a dedicated IP address if you have one, and much more. To make it easier for you, all subdomains will be listed under their root domain, so that you can effortlessly see and manage them. With instant access links, you will also be able to open the site files for any one of the subdomains that you have or check out its DNS records.
