A subdomain is a website url, which is 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 subdomain can have its own site and records i.e. aside from using the domain name as part of the whole web address, a subdomain can be completely independent and even hosted by a different provider. Using a subdomain can be quite handy if you want to have different websites that are associated in some way. For example, you could have an on-line store under the main domain as well as a forum under a subdomain in order to supply means for your customers to ask questions and share thoughts concerning your products. The advantage of using a subdomain rather than a subfolder is that the sites will be separated, so you are able to update one of them or perform maintenance without affecting the other.
Subdomains in Shared Hosting
Our shared hosting packages will enable you to create many subdomains for any domain name hosted inside your account without any problem. If the main domain name is added, it takes two mouse clicks to set up a subdomain and pick what folder it's going to open (if different from the default one), create unique 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 effortless access and management. By right-clicking on any of them and by using instant access buttons you can see the error logs, visitor statistics or website files for that particular subdomain. We have not set a restriction for the total amount of subdomains 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 package, you are going to be able to create as many subdomains as you want because this feature is unlimited. For the reason that the hosting packages are quite powerful, we've decided not to set any cap on the amount of subdomains. Our advanced Hepsia CP will enable you to create a new subdomain with no more than a few clicks, to pick which folder it will access within the account, to activate FrontPage Extensions for it, to set up custom error pages, to set a shared or a dedicated IP address if you have one, and more. To make it easier for you, all the subdomains are going to be listed under their root domain, so you can effortlessly see and manage them. Using fast access links, you'll also have the ability to open the website files for any one of the subdomains that you have or see its DNS records.
