A subdomain is a website url, that's under a main, or a root domain name. An example is something.domain.com, in which domain.com is the main domain, while "something" is the subdomain below it. Each subdomain can have its own site and records i.e. apart from employing the domain name as part of the whole web address, a subdomain can be totally independent and even hosted by a separate provider. Employing a subdomain could be very handy if you'd like to have different web sites which are related in some way. For instance, you may have an on-line store under the main domain as well as a forum under a subdomain so as to provide means for your customers to ask questions and / or share views about your products. The main advantage of employing a subdomain rather than a subfolder is that the websites are going to be separated, so you can update one of them or perform maintenance not affecting the other.
Subdomains in Shared Hosting
Every shared hosting plan we offer will permit you to create many subdomains with no more than a few mouse clicks in your hosting CP. They're going to be listed in the area where you create them and grouped under the main domain for more convenience, so that you can very easily keep tabs on every one of them. In addition, you can access many functions for any one of the subdomains via right-click context menus - as an example, you can view or modify their DNS records, access the site files, and more. While creating a new subdomain, you'll also have many options that you can pick from - specify the default access folder, set unique error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions or choose if the subdomain is going to use a shared or a dedicated IP address. The amount of subdomains you'll have is entirely up to you because we have not restricted this feature for any of our packages.
Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Hosting
You’ll be able to create as many subdomains as you wish with any of our Linux semi-dedicated hosting as we haven't set a maximum limit for this feature. The Hepsia website hosting CP will permit you to add a new subdomain with a few mouse clicks and you'll be able to access a number 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 offered in your account, activate FrontPage Extensions, add an SSL certificate, plus much more. Even if you create a great number of subdomains, you're going to be able to keep track of them with ease since they will be listed in alphabetical order under their main domain. For any one of them, you can also access the web site files or check out logs and usage statistics using fast access buttons.
