A subdomain is a website url, which is under a main, or a root domain name. One example is something.domain.com, where domain.com is the main domain name, 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 a part of the whole web address, a subdomain can be entirely independent and also hosted by a separate company. Using a subdomain could be very beneficial if you wish to have different web sites which are related in some way. As an example, you could have an online store under the main domain as well as a forum under a subdomain so as to supply means for your clients to ask questions and / or share experiences about your products. The main advantage of using a subdomain as opposed to a subfolder is that the sites are going to be separated, so that you can update one of them or perform maintenance not affecting the other.

Subdomains in Shared Web Hosting

Through our shared web hosting packages you're going to be able to create subdomains with a few clicks in your web hosting CP. All of them are going to be listed in a single location along with the domain addresses hosted in the account and grouped under their own domain in order to make their management much easier. Whatever the plan that you choose, you're going to be able to create many subdomains and set their access folder or create custom error pages during the process. Additionally, you'll have access to a lot of functions for any of them with just a mouse click, so from the very same section in which you create them you can access their DNS records, files, visitor statistics, etc. As opposed to other companies, we haven't restricted the amount of subdomains which you can have even if you host only one domain address within the account.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers

You will be able to create as many subdomains as you wish with any one of our Linux semi-dedicated servers as we have not set an upper limit for this feature. The Hepsia hosting CP will permit you to add a new subdomain with a few clicks and you are going to be able to access a number of advanced features during the process - modify the default access folder, select the IP address the subdomain will use from the shared and dedicated ones that are provided in your account, activate FrontPage Extensions, add an SSL certificate, and a lot more. Even if you set up a large 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 every single one of them, you can also access the web site files or see logs and usage statistics through fast access buttons.
