A subdomain is a website url, that is under a main, or a root domain name. One example is something.domain.com, where domain.com is the main domain, while "something" is the subdomain below it. Each 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 completely independent and even hosted by a separate service provider. Employing a subdomain can be extremely beneficial if you wish to have different web sites which are associated in some way. For example, you could have an on-line store under the main domain as well as a forum under a subdomain so as to offer means for your clients to ask questions or share views regarding your products. The advantage of employing a subdomain rather than 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 Shared Web Hosting
If you get a shared web hosting package from us, you'll be able to create subdomains with ease using your Hepsia website hosting CP. We have decided not to restrict their amount, so even if you host only one domain name in the account, you're going to be able to create as many subdomains as you would like and have a different website for every single one of them. During the creation of a subdomain, you can select the folder within the account that it's going to 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 more. All hosted domains and the subdomains that you create for them will be conveniently listed in alphabetical order in one spot and you'll be able to access a lot of functions for every single one of them through right-click context menus - records, files, etc.
Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers
If you get a semi-dedicated server plan, you are going to be able to create as many subdomains as you'd like because this feature is unrestricted. Considering that the hosting plans are rather powerful, we have decided not to put any cap on the amount of subdomains. Our innovative Hepsia Control Panel will allow you to create a new subdomain with no more than a few mouse clicks, to select which folder it will access in the account, to enable FrontPage Extensions for it, to set up custom error pages, to create a shared or a dedicated IP address if you have one, and many more. To make it easier for you, all the subdomains will be listed under their root domain, so you can very easily see and manage them. With instant access links, you'll be able to open the site files for each of the subdomains that you have or view its DNS records.
