A subdomain is a website address, that is under a main, or a root domain name. 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. aside from using the domain name as a part of the whole web address, a subdomain can be totally independent and even hosted by a different provider. Employing a subdomain can be quite useful if you'd like to have different sites which are connected in some way. For instance, 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 clients to ask questions or share opinions regarding your products. The benefit of employing a subdomain instead of a subfolder is that the websites will be separated, so that you can update one of them or perform maintenance without affecting the other.

Subdomains in Cloud Hosting

If you acquire a cloud hosting plan from us, you'll be able to create subdomains easily through your Hepsia website hosting Control Panel. We have decided not to limit their number, so even if you host only 1 domain name in the account, you will be able to create as many subdomains as you would like and have a different site for each one. During the creation of a subdomain, you are able to select the folder in the account that it'll open, set up personalized error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions and error logs, pick a server shared IP address or a dedicated one if you have such, and much more. All hosted domains and the subdomains you create for them will be conveniently listed in alphabetical order in one spot and you'll be able to access lots of functions for every one of them with 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 one of our semi-dedicated hosting plans since we haven't set an upper limit for this feature. The Hepsia hosting CP will allow you to add a new subdomain with a few mouse clicks and you are going to be able to access a number of advanced features during the process - modify the default access folder, select the IP address the subdomain will use from the shared and dedicated ones which are available in your account, activate FrontPage Extensions, add an SSL certificate, plus much more. Even if you set up a large number of subdomains, you are going to be able to keep track of them with ease because they are going to be listed in alphabetical order below their main domain. For every single one of them, you can also access the site files or view logs and usage stats through quick access buttons.
