A subdomain is a website url, that's under a main, or a root domain. An illustration is something.domain.com, in which domain.com is the main domain name, while "something" is the subdomain below it. Each subdomain can have its own website and records i.e. aside from using the domain name as part of the whole web address, a subdomain can be totally independent and also hosted by a separate provider. Employing a subdomain could be very useful if you wish to have different sites that are associated in some way. For instance, you may have an on-line store under the main domain and a forum under a subdomain in order to provide means for your customers to ask questions or share opinions regarding your products. The advantage of using 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 without affecting the other.

Subdomains in Cloud Hosting

Our cloud hosting packages will enable you to create numerous subdomains for any domain address hosted in your account without any difficulty. Provided that the main domain address is added, it takes 2 clicks to set up a subdomain and select what folder it will open (if different from the default one), set unique error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions, set a shared IP address or a dedicated one, and a lot more. All subdomains are going to be conveniently listed in alphabetical order under their main domain for effortless access and management. By right-clicking on any one of them and by using quick access buttons you can see the error logs, visitor statistics or site files for that specific subdomain. We haven't set a limit for the amount of subdomains that you can create with any one of our plans, so you can have as many as you want.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers

You are able to create as many subdomains as you would like with any one of our Linux semi-dedicated servers as we have not set an upper limit for this feature. The Hepsia website hosting Control Panel will enable you to add a new subdomain with only a few mouse clicks and you are going to be able to access a number of advanced features during the process - change the default access folder, choose the IP address the subdomain will use from the shared and dedicated ones which are provided in your account, activate FrontPage Extensions, add an SSL certificate, and much more. Even if you create a great number of subdomains, you are going to be able to keep track of all of them with ease because they are going to be listed in alphabetical order below their main domain. For any of them, you are able to access the web site files or view logs and usage statistics via instant access buttons.
