A subdomain is a web address, that is under a main, or a root domain. One example is something.domain.com, where domain.com is the main domain, while "something" is the subdomain below it. Every subdomain can have its own website and records i.e. aside from employing the domain name as part of the whole web address, a subdomain can be completely independent and even hosted by a separate service provider. Employing a subdomain could be very beneficial if you'd like to have different web sites that are connected 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 provide means for your customers to ask questions or share opinions regarding your products. The main advantage of employing a subdomain as opposed to a subfolder is that the sites will be separated, so you are able to update one of them or perform maintenance without affecting the other.

Subdomains in Cloud Web Hosting

When you buy a cloud web hosting package from our company, you are going to be able to create subdomains effortlessly using your Hepsia website hosting CP. We've decided not to restrict their amount, so in case you host just one domain address in the account, you will be able to create as many subdomains as you wish and have a different site for each one of them. During the creation of a subdomain, you can pick the folder within the account that it will open, create custom error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions and error logs, choose a server shared IP address or a dedicated one if you have such, plus much more. All hosted domain names and the subdomains you create for them are going to be conveniently listed in alphabetical order in one location and you will be able to gain access to many functions for every one of them through right-click context menus - records, files, etc.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers

Our semi-dedicated servers don't have a restriction for the amount of subdomains that you can create. Adding a new subdomain in the account takes only a few mouse clicks in the Hepsia web 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 custom error pages, enable FrontPage Extensions if you need them or create a dedicated IP address as opposed to the shared server one in case you have added this upgrade to your semi-dedicated account. After the subdomain is set up, you'll be able to access logs and visitor stats or swiftly jump to the website files for it within the File Manager section through instant access buttons. All subdomains that you have in the account will be conveniently listed under their root domain, so you will be able to find and handle any one of them effortlessly.
