A subdomain is a web address, that is under a main, or a root domain. An example is something.domain.com, in which domain.com is the main domain address, while "something" is the subdomain below it. Each and every subdomain can have its own website and records i.e. aside from employing the domain name as a part of the whole web address, a subdomain can be fully independent and also hosted by a different provider. Using a subdomain can be extremely handy if you wish to have different websites that are associated in some way. For instance, you may have an on-line store under the main domain plus a forum under a subdomain in order to supply means for your customers to ask questions or share thoughts concerning your products. The main advantage of using 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 not affecting the other.

Subdomains in Shared Website Hosting

Our shared website hosting packages will permit you to create countless subdomains for any domain hosted in your account without any problem. Assuming that the main domain is added, it will take two mouse clicks to create a subdomain and choose what folder it will open (if different from the default one), create customized error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions, set a shared IP address or a dedicated one, and a lot more. All subdomains will be conveniently listed in alphabetical order under their main domain for easy access and administration. By right-clicking on any of them and by using instant access buttons you can see the error logs, visitor statistics or site files for that particular subdomain. We have not set a restriction for the total number of subdomains which you can create with any one of our plans, so you can have as many as you want.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers

Our semi-dedicated servers do not have a limit for the number of subdomains that you can create. Adding a new subdomain inside the account takes only a few clicks in the Hepsia website hosting Control Panel and throughout the process you can select the folder the subdomain will access if it is going to be different from the default one, set up custom-made error pages, enable FrontPage Extensions if you need them or set a dedicated IP address rather than the shared server one if you have added such an upgrade to your semi-dedicated account. After the subdomain is created, you'll be able to access logs and visitor stats or you can quickly jump to the website files for it inside the File Manager area by using instant access buttons. All subdomains that you have within the account will be conveniently listed under their root domain, so you'll be able to find and control any one of them effortlessly.
