A subdomain is a web address, that is under a main, or a root domain name. An example is something.domain.com, in which domain.com is the main domain, while "something" is the subdomain below it. Every subdomain can have its own website and records i.e. apart from using the domain name as a part of the whole web address, a subdomain can be totally independent and also hosted by a different company. Using a subdomain can be very useful if you want to have different web sites that are associated in some way. For example, you can have an on-line store under the main domain plus a forum under a subdomain so as to offer means for your clients to ask questions and / or share opinions about your products. The best thing about using a subdomain instead of a subfolder is that the sites will be separated, so you can update one of them or perform maintenance without affecting the other.
Subdomains in Shared Website Hosting
With our shared website hosting packages you will be able to create subdomains with a couple of mouse clicks in your web hosting Control Panel. All of them will be listed in a single location along with the domain addresses hosted in the account and grouped under their own domain to help make their managing simpler. Whatever the plan that you select, you'll be able to create hundreds of subdomains and set their access folder or set up custom error pages during the process. Additionally, you will have access to many functions for any of them with just a click, so from the very same section where you create them you can access their DNS records, files, visitor statistics, etc. As opposed to other providers, we have not restricted the amount of subdomains which you can have even if you host one domain inside the account.
Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Hosting
Our semi-dedicated hosting packages haven't got a limit for the amount of subdomains which you can create. Adding a new subdomain inside the account takes just a couple of mouse clicks inside the Hepsia website hosting CP and throughout the process you can pick the folder the subdomain is going to access if it will be different from the default one, create custom error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions if you need them or set a dedicated IP address rather than the shared server one provided you have added this upgrade to your semi-dedicated account. As soon as the subdomain is set up, you'll be able to access logs and visitor stats or easily jump to the site files for it within the File Manager section through instant access buttons. All subdomains that you have 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 easily.
