A subdomain is a website address, that is under a main, or a root domain name. An illustration is something.domain.com, in which domain.com is the main domain name, while "something" is the subdomain below it. Every subdomain can have its own site 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 even hosted by a separate company. Employing a subdomain can be extremely handy if you'd like to have different sites that are associated in some way. For example, you may have an on-line store under the main domain along with a forum under a subdomain so as to supply means for your clients to ask questions and / or share views about your products. The advantage of employing a subdomain instead of a subfolder is that the websites are going to be separated, so that you can update one of them or perform maintenance not affecting the other.

Subdomains in Cloud Hosting

Our cloud hosting plans will permit you to set up countless subdomains for any domain hosted inside your account without any difficulty. Assuming that the main domain name is added, it will take 2 mouse clicks to create a subdomain and select what folder it will open (if different from the default one), set unique 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 easy access and administration. By right-clicking on any of them and by using fast access buttons you can view the error logs, visitor statistics or website files for that particular subdomain. We haven't set a limit for the total amount of subdomains you can create with any of our plans, so you can have as many as you need.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers

Our semi-dedicated hosting plans do not have a set limit for the number of subdomains which you can create. Adding a new subdomain in the account takes only a couple of clicks in the Hepsia website hosting Control Panel and throughout the process you can pick the folder the subdomain is going to access if it is going to be different from the default one, set up custom error pages, enable FrontPage Extensions if you need them or create a dedicated IP address rather than the shared server one in case you have added this upgrade to your semi-dedicated account. Once the subdomain is set up, you will be able to access logs and visitor statistics or swiftly jump to the site files for it inside the File Manager area via fast access buttons. All subdomains that you have inside the account are going to be conveniently listed under their root domain, so you're going to be able to find and control any of them with ease.
