A subdomain is a web address, that is under a main, or a root domain name. An example is something.domain.com, where domain.com is the main domain, while "something" is the subdomain below it. Every single subdomain can have its own site and records i.e. apart from using the domain name as part of the whole web address, a subdomain can be completely independent and even hosted by a different company. Using a subdomain could be very useful if you'd like to have different websites which are connected in some way. As an example, you could have an online store under the main domain plus a forum under a subdomain so as to offer means for your customers to ask questions or share opinions about your products. The main advantage of employing a subdomain as opposed to a subfolder is that the web sites are going to be separated, so you are able to update one of them or perform maintenance not affecting the other.
Subdomains in Shared Website Hosting
Using our shared website hosting plans you are going to be able to create subdomains with just a few mouse clicks in your web hosting CP. All of them are going to be listed in one spot along with the domain names hosted in the account and grouped under their own domain to help make their management much easier. No matter the plan that you pick, you are going to be able to create numerous subdomains and set their access folder or create custom error pages in the process. You will also have access to many functions for any of them with only a click, so from the very same section in which you create them you can access their DNS records, files, visitor statistics, etc. As opposed to other companies, we haven't restricted the amount of subdomains which you can have even if you host only one domain address in the account.
Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers
You’ll be able to create as many subdomains as you want with any of our semi-dedicated plans since we haven't set a maximum limit for this feature. The Hepsia web hosting CP will enable you to add a new subdomain with a few clicks and you'll be able to access a variety of advanced features during the process - modify the default access folder, pick the IP address the subdomain will use from the shared and dedicated ones that are offered in your account, activate FrontPage Extensions, add an SSL certificate, and more. Even if you create a large number of subdomains, you'll be able to keep track of all of them with ease because they will be listed in alphabetical order under their main domain. For any one of them, you can even access the web site files or see logs and usage stats using fast access buttons.
