A subdomain is a website url, 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. Each and 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 company. Using a subdomain can be very handy if you want to have different sites that are related in some way. For example, you can have an online store under the main domain as well as a forum under a subdomain in order to provide means for your customers to ask questions and share thoughts about your products. The 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 without affecting the other.

Subdomains in Hosting

When you use hosting plans you are going to be able to create subdomains with only a few mouse clicks in your website hosting Control Panel. All of them will be listed in a single location together with the domains hosted in the account and grouped under their own domain so as to make their administration a lot easier. Regardless of the plan that you pick, you'll be able to create many subdomains and set their access folder or create custom error pages during the process. Additionally, you'll have access to lots of functions for any of them with only a mouse click, so from the same section in which you create them you can access their DNS records, files, visitor statistics, etc. As opposed to other providers, we haven't restricted the number of subdomains you can have even if you host one domain address inside the account.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you get a semi-dedicated server plan, you'll be able to create as many subdomains as you wish simply because this feature is unrestricted. For the reason that the website hosting packages are very powerful, we have decided not to put any cap on the amount of subdomains. Our advanced Hepsia Control Panel will permit you to create a new subdomain with no more than a couple of mouse clicks, to choose which folder it's going to access inside the account, to activate FrontPage Extensions for it, to set up 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 the subdomains are going to be listed under their root domain, so you can easily see and handle them. With fast access links, you'll also be able to open the site files for any one of the subdomains that you have or view its DNS records.
