A subdomain is a website url, which is under a main, or a root domain name. One example is something.domain.com, in which domain.com is the main domain address, while "something" is the subdomain below it. Every single subdomain can have its own website and records i.e. apart from using the domain name as part of the whole web address, a subdomain can be entirely independent and also hosted by a different service provider. Employing a subdomain can be very practical if you wish to have different web sites that are related in some way. For example, you can have a web-based store under the main domain plus a forum under a subdomain so as to offer means for your clients to ask questions and share views concerning your products. The main advantage of employing a subdomain rather than a subfolder is that the sites will be separated, so you can update one of them or perform maintenance without affecting the other.

Subdomains in Cloud Web Hosting

If you get a cloud web hosting plan from us, you're going to be able to create subdomains with ease through your Hepsia website hosting Control Panel. We have decided not to restrict their number, so in case you host just one domain name in the account, you will be able to create as many subdomains as you would like and have a different website for every single one. During the creation of a subdomain, you'll be able to pick the folder in 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 names and the subdomains that you create for them will be conveniently listed in alphabetical order in one place and you are going to be able to access lots of functions for every one of them through right-click context menus - records, files, etc.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you buy a semi-dedicated server package, you will be able to create as many subdomains as you want simply because this feature is unlimited. Since the website hosting plans are quite powerful, we've decided not to set any cap on the amount of subdomains. Our innovative Hepsia CP will allow you to create a new subdomain with no more than a couple of clicks, to choose which folder it's going to access inside the account, to enable FrontPage Extensions for it, to set up custom error pages, to set a shared or a dedicated IP address if you have one, and a lot more. To make it easier for you, all subdomains will be listed under their root domain, so that you can very easily see and control them. With quick access links, you will also have the ability to open the site files for each of the subdomains that you have or view its DNS records.
