A subdomain is a website url, that's under a main, or a root domain. An example is something.domain.com, in which domain.com is the main domain address, while "something" is the subdomain below it. Each subdomain can have its own site and records i.e. apart 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 beneficial if you wish to have different websites which are connected in some way. For instance, you can have a web-based store under the main domain along with a forum under a subdomain so as to provide means for your customers to ask questions and / or share thoughts concerning your products. The best thing about employing a subdomain instead of a subfolder is that the websites are going to be separated, so you are able to update one of them or perform maintenance without affecting the other.

Subdomains in Shared Hosting

When you obtain a shared hosting plan from our company, you are going to be able to create subdomains with ease using your Hepsia website hosting CP. We've decided not to restrict their amount, so even when you host just one domain address in the account, you're going to be able to create as many subdomains as you wish and have a different website for each one of them. During the creation of a subdomain, you'll be able to choose the folder within the account that it's going to open, set up personalized error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions and error logs, select a server shared IP address or a dedicated one if you have such, and a lot more. All hosted domain addresses and the subdomains that you create for them will be conveniently listed in alphabetical order in one location and you will 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

You will be able to create as many subdomains as you would like with any of our semi-dedicated servers as we haven't set an upper limit for this feature. The Hepsia hosting CP will allow you to add a new subdomain with only a few mouse clicks and you are going to be able to access a number of advanced features during the process - replace the default access folder, pick the IP address the subdomain will use from the shared and dedicated ones which are provided in your account, activate FrontPage Extensions, add an SSL certificate, and more. Even if you create a great number of subdomains, you'll be able to keep track of all of them with ease as they will be listed in alphabetical order below their main domain. For every single one of them, you can also access the website files or check out logs and usage statistics through instant access buttons.
