A subdomain is a web address, that's under a main, or a root domain. One example is something.domain.com, in which domain.com is the main domain address, while "something" is the subdomain below it. Every single 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 completely independent and also hosted by a separate company. Using a subdomain can be extremely useful if you'd like to have different web sites that are associated in some way. For example, you can have an on-line store under the main domain as well as a forum under a subdomain so as to provide means for your clients to ask questions or share thoughts regarding your products. The best thing about using a subdomain as opposed to a subfolder is that the websites will be separated, so you are able to update one of them or perform maintenance not affecting the other.
Subdomains in Web Hosting
Every web hosting package we supply will enable you to create hundreds of subdomains with no more than a few mouse clicks inside your website hosting CP. They will all be listed in the section in which you create them and grouped under the main domain for more convenience, so you can very easily keep track of them all. Additionally, you can access lots of functions for any of the subdomains via right-click context menus - as an example, you can view or modify their DNS records, access the website files, and a lot more. While setting up a new subdomain, you'll also have numerous options that you can choose from - determine the default access folder, set custom error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions or decide if the subdomain will use a shared or a dedicated IP address. The amount of subdomains you will have is completely up to you as we have not restricted this feature for any of our plans.
Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers
Our semi-dedicated servers haven't got a limit for the number of subdomains that you can create. Adding a new subdomain in the account takes only a couple of mouse clicks inside the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel and in the process you can choose the folder the subdomain will access if it will be different from the default one, create tailor-made error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions if you need them or set a dedicated IP address as opposed to the shared server one provided you have added such an upgrade to your semi-dedicated account. As soon as the subdomain is set up, you can access logs and visitor stats or easily jump to the site files for it in the File Manager area via instant access buttons. All subdomains you've got within the account are going to be conveniently listed under their root domain, so you'll be able to find and handle every single one of them easily.
