A subdomain is a web address, that's under a main, or a root domain name. One example is something.domain.com, in which domain.com is the main domain name, while "something" is the subdomain below it. Each subdomain can have its own site and records i.e. apart from employing the domain name as a part of the whole web address, a subdomain can be entirely independent and even hosted by a separate company. Using a subdomain can be very useful if you wish to have different web sites that are connected in some way. For example, you may have an on-line 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 / or share opinions regarding your products. The advantage of using a subdomain as opposed to a subfolder is that the sites will be separated, so that you can update one of them or perform maintenance without affecting the other.

Subdomains in Web Hosting

If you acquire a web hosting package through us, you'll be able to create subdomains with ease through your Hepsia website hosting CP. We've decided not to limit their number, so even when you host just one domain address in the account, you'll be able to create as many subdomains as you want and have a different website for every single one. During the creation of a subdomain, you can pick the folder inside the account that it's going to open, set up personalized error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions and error logs, choose a server shared IP address or a dedicated one if you have such, and more. All hosted domain names and the subdomains you create for them are going to be conveniently listed in alphabetical order in one place and you will be able to access many functions for every one of them through right-click context menus - records, files, etc.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you acquire a semi-dedicated server plan, you'll be able to create as many subdomains as you want because this feature is unrestricted. Since the hosting packages are rather powerful, we've decided not to put any limit on the amount of subdomains. Our advanced Hepsia Control Panel will enable you to create a new subdomain with no more than a couple of mouse clicks, to choose which folder it will access in the account, to enable FrontPage Extensions for it, to create custom error pages, to set a shared or a dedicated IP address if you have one, and many more. For your convenience, all of the subdomains are going to be listed under their root domain, so that you can very easily see and handle them. Using quick access links, you will also have the ability to open the website files for any of the subdomains that you have or see its DNS records.
