A subdomain is a web address, which is under a main, or a root domain. One example is something.domain.com, in which 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 part of the whole web address, a subdomain can be completely independent and also hosted by a separate service provider. Using a subdomain can be very practical if you want to have different websites that are connected in some way. For example, you may have an on-line store under the main domain and a forum under a subdomain in order to supply means for your clients to ask questions or share opinions regarding your products. The advantage of using a subdomain as opposed to a subfolder is that the sites will be separated, so that you can update one of them or perform maintenance without affecting the other.

Subdomains in Cloud Hosting

Each and every cloud hosting plan that we offer will enable you to create numerous subdomains with no more than a couple of mouse clicks inside your website hosting CP. They will all be listed in the section in which you create them and arranged under the main domain for more convenience, so you can easily keep track of all of them. Furthermore, you can access lots of functions for any of the subdomains using right-click context menus - as an example, you can view or modify their DNS records, access the website files, and more. While setting up a new subdomain, you are also going to have lots of options that you can choose from - determine the default access folder, create customized error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions or choose if the subdomain is going to use a shared or a dedicated IP address. How many subdomains you'll have is 100 % up to you as we have not restricted this feature for any of our packages.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Our Linux semi-dedicated hosting services don't have a restriction for the number of subdomains you can create. Adding a new subdomain in the account takes only a couple of mouse clicks inside the Hepsia web hosting CP and in the process you can choose the folder the subdomain is going to access if it will be different from the default one, create custom error pages, enable FrontPage Extensions if you need them or set a dedicated IP address rather than the shared server one provided you have added such an upgrade to your semi-dedicated account. After the subdomain is created, you will be able to access logs and visitor stats or you can easily jump to the website files for it within the File Manager section using instant access buttons. All subdomains 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 control any of them effortlessly.
