A subdomain is a web address, that is under a main, or a root domain name. An illustration is something.domain.com, where 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. aside from employing the domain name as part of the whole web address, a subdomain can be fully independent and even hosted by a separate company. Using a subdomain could be very useful if you wish to have different sites which are related in some way. For instance, you could have a web-based store under the main domain and a forum under a subdomain so as to offer means for your customers to ask questions and / or share views regarding your products. The benefit of employing a subdomain instead of a subfolder is that the web sites will be separated, so that you can update one of them or perform maintenance not affecting the other.
Subdomains in Shared Website Hosting
When you purchase a shared website hosting plan from us, you will be able to create subdomains effortlessly using your Hepsia website hosting Control Panel. We have decided not to limit their amount, so in case you host only 1 domain in the account, you're going to be able to create as many subdomains as you wish and have a different website for every one of them. During the creation of a subdomain, you can select the folder in the account that it'll open, create customized error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions and error logs, choose a server shared IP address or a dedicated one if you have such, and a lot more. All hosted domain names and the subdomains that you create for them will be conveniently listed in alphabetical order in one location and you are going to be able to access a lot of functions for every one of them through right-click context menus - records, files, etc.
Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers
Our semi-dedicated plans don't have a limit for the amount of subdomains which you can create. Adding a new subdomain within the account takes just a few mouse clicks in the Hepsia hosting Control Panel and during the process you can choose the folder the subdomain will access if it will be different from the default one, create custom error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions if you need them or create a dedicated IP address instead of the shared server one in case you have added such an upgrade to your semi-dedicated account. As soon as the subdomain is created, you can access logs and visitor statistics or swiftly jump to the website files for it in the File Manager area via fast access buttons. All subdomains you've got in the account will be conveniently listed under their root domain, so you're going to be able to find and control any of them easily.
