A subdomain is a web address, which is under a main, or a root domain. An illustration is something.domain.com, where domain.com is the main domain address, while "something" is the subdomain below it. Every 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 totally independent and even hosted by a separate provider. Using a subdomain can be quite handy if you want to have different websites that are connected in some way. As an example, you could have a web-based store under the main domain along with a forum under a subdomain so as to supply means for your customers to ask questions and / or share experiences concerning your products. The main advantage of employing a subdomain rather than 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 Cloud Hosting

Our cloud hosting plans will permit you to create countless subdomains for every domain name hosted inside your account without any difficulty. If the main domain name is added, it takes 2 clicks to create a subdomain and select what folder it'll open (if different from the default one), create customized error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions, set a shared IP address or a dedicated one, plus much more. All subdomains will be conveniently listed in alphabetical order under their main domain for convenient access and administration. By right-clicking on any one of them and by using instant access buttons you can view the error logs, visitor statistics or website files for that specific subdomain. We have not set a limit for the total number of subdomains that you can create with any one of our plans, so you can have as many as you wish.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Hosting

When you purchase a semi-dedicated server plan, you are going to be able to create as many subdomains as you wish simply because this feature is unlimited. For the reason that the website hosting plans are rather powerful, we've decided not to set 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 few clicks, to choose which folder it will access in the account, to enable FrontPage Extensions for it, to set up unique error pages, to create a shared or a dedicated IP address if you have one, and a lot more. For your convenience, all of the subdomains will be listed under their root domain, so you can effortlessly see and handle them. With quick access links, you will also be able to open the site files for any one of the subdomains that you have or see its DNS records.
