A subdomain is a web address, that's under a main, or a root domain name. An example is something.domain.com, where domain.com is the main domain address, 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 a part of the whole web address, a subdomain can be entirely independent and even hosted by a separate provider. Using a subdomain can be very useful if you want to have different websites which are associated in some way. For example, you can have an online store under the main domain plus a forum under a subdomain so as to supply means for your clients to ask questions or share views regarding your products. The best thing about using a subdomain rather than a subfolder is that the web sites will be separated, so you're able to update one of them or perform maintenance not affecting the other.
Subdomains in Website Hosting
Our website hosting packages will enable you to set up countless subdomains for any domain hosted in your account without any problem. Assuming that the main domain is added, it requires 2 clicks to set up a subdomain and select what folder it will open (if different from the default one), create custom error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions, set a shared IP address or a dedicated one, and more. All subdomains are going to be conveniently listed in alphabetical order under their main domain for effortless access and control. By right-clicking on any of them and by using instant access buttons you can see the error logs, visitor statistics or website files for that specific subdomain. We haven't set a limit for the total number of subdomains you can create with any one of our plans, so you can have as many as you wish.
Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Hosting
You are able to create as many subdomains as you want with any of our Linux semi-dedicated hosting packages because we haven't set a maximum limit for this feature. The Hepsia web hosting CP will permit you to add a new subdomain with only a few clicks and you are going to be able to access a variety of advanced features during the process - change the default access folder, choose the IP address the subdomain will use from the shared and dedicated ones which are provided in your account, activate FrontPage Extensions, add an SSL certificate, plus much more. Even if you set up a great number of subdomains, you are going to be able to keep track of them with ease because they will be listed in alphabetical order under their main domain. For each of them, you can even access the site files or view logs and usage statistics using quick access buttons.
