A subdomain is a web address, that's under a main, or a root domain. 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 website and records i.e. aside from using the domain name as a part of the whole web address, a subdomain can be entirely independent and also hosted by a different provider. Using a subdomain can be very handy if you want to have different web sites that are connected in some way. For example, you could have an on-line store under the main domain plus a forum under a subdomain so as to supply means for your clients to ask questions and share views about your products. The benefit of using a subdomain as opposed to a subfolder is that the websites will be separated, so you can update one of them or perform maintenance without affecting the other.

Subdomains in Cloud Hosting

When you acquire a cloud hosting package from us, you will be able to create subdomains effortlessly through your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. We have decided not to limit their number, so even when you host only one domain address in the account, you'll be able to create as many subdomains as you wish and have a different site for every single one of them. During the creation of a subdomain, you'll be able to select the folder in the account that it will open, create personalized error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions and error logs, pick a server shared IP address or a dedicated one if you have such, plus much more. All hosted domains and the subdomains you create for them will be conveniently listed in alphabetical order in one place and you'll be able to access a lot of functions for every single one of them with right-click context menus - records, files, etc.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers

Our semi-dedicated servers don't have a restriction for the number of subdomains you can create. Adding a new subdomain inside the account takes only a few mouse clicks in the Hepsia web hosting CP and throughout the process you can choose the folder the subdomain is going to access if it will be different from the default one, create customized error pages, enable FrontPage Extensions if you need them or set a dedicated IP address as opposed to the shared server one if you have added this upgrade to your semi-dedicated account. After the subdomain is set up, you'll be able to access logs and visitor stats or you can easily jump to the website files for it inside the File Manager area via fast access buttons. All subdomains you have within the account are going to be conveniently listed under their root domain, so you're going to be able to find and handle any of them effortlessly.
