A subdomain is a website url, that's under a main, or a root domain name. An illustration 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. apart from using the domain name as a part of the whole web address, a subdomain can be totally independent and even hosted by a different service provider. Employing a subdomain can be extremely practical if you'd like to have different web sites which are associated in some way. As an example, you may have a web-based 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 concerning your products. The best thing about employing a subdomain as opposed to a subfolder is that the web sites will be separated, so you are able to update one of them or perform maintenance without affecting the other.
Subdomains in Shared Website Hosting
When you purchase a shared website hosting package from our company, you are going to be able to create subdomains with ease using your Hepsia website hosting CP. We have decided not to restrict their number, so in case you host only 1 domain address in the account, you will be able to create as many subdomains as you want and have a different website for every single one. During the creation of a subdomain, you can choose the folder within the account that it'll open, create customized error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions and error logs, select a server shared IP address or a dedicated one if you have such, and a lot more. All hosted domains and the subdomains that you create for them are going to be conveniently listed in alphabetical order in one place and you will be able to gain access to many functions for every one of them with right-click context menus - records, files, etc.
Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers
Our semi-dedicated plans don't have a limit for the amount of subdomains you can create. Adding a new subdomain inside the account takes just a couple of mouse clicks within the Hepsia website hosting CP and throughout the process you can select the folder the subdomain is going to access if it is going to be different from the default one, create tailor-made error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions if you need them or create a dedicated IP address instead of the shared server one provided you have added such an upgrade to your semi-dedicated account. When the subdomain is set up, you will be able to access logs and visitor stats or you can swiftly jump to the website files for it within the File Manager area through quick access buttons. All subdomains that you've got in the account will be conveniently listed under their root domain, so you are going to be able to find and control every single one of them easily.
