A subdomain is a website address, which is under a main, or a root domain. An illustration is something.domain.com, where domain.com is the main domain name, while "something" is the subdomain below it. Every single 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 also hosted by a separate service provider. Employing a subdomain can be quite useful if you want to have different sites that are associated in some way. As an example, you can have an on-line store under the main domain and a forum under a subdomain so as to provide means for your customers to ask questions and / or share opinions concerning your products. The advantage of using a subdomain rather than a subfolder is that the websites are going to be separated, so you are able to update one of them or perform maintenance without affecting the other.
Subdomains in Hosting
If you acquire a hosting plan through us, you're going to be able to create subdomains easily via your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. We've decided not to limit their number, so even when you host only one domain name in the account, you will be able to create as many subdomains as you wish and have a different website for each and every one. During the creation of a subdomain, you'll be able to select the folder in the account that it'll open, set up custom error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions and error logs, choose a server shared IP address or a dedicated one if you have such, and much more. All hosted domain addresses and the subdomains that you create for them will be conveniently listed in alphabetical order in one place and you'll be able to gain access to 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 haven't got a set limit for the number of subdomains you can create. Adding a new subdomain in the account takes just a couple of mouse clicks within the Hepsia hosting CP and throughout the process you can select the folder the subdomain will access if it is going to be different from the default one, set up custom-made error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions if you need them or set a dedicated IP address as opposed to the shared server one provided you have added such an upgrade to your semi-dedicated account. Once the subdomain is created, you'll be able to access logs and visitor statistics or quickly jump to the website files for it within the File Manager section using instant access buttons. All subdomains you've got inside 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 with ease.
