A subdomain is a website address, that's under a main, or a root domain name. One example is something.domain.com, in which domain.com is the main domain, while "something" is the subdomain below it. Every subdomain can have its own site and records i.e. apart from using the domain name as part of the whole web address, a subdomain can be entirely independent and even hosted by a separate provider. Using a subdomain can be extremely beneficial if you want to have different websites that are associated in some way. For example, you may have an online store under the main domain plus a forum under a subdomain in order to supply means for your customers to ask questions and share thoughts about your products. The benefit 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 without affecting the other.
Subdomains in Shared Website Hosting
Every single shared website hosting package which we supply will enable you to create hundreds of subdomains with no more than a few clicks inside your website hosting Control Panel. They are going to be listed in the section in which you create them and arranged under the main domain for more convenience, so you can very easily keep tabs on them all. Furthermore, you can access many functions for any one of the subdomains via right-click context menus - as an example, you can view or edit their DNS records, access the website files, and more. While setting up a new subdomain, you'll also have lots of options that you can select from - define the default access folder, set custom error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions or pick if the subdomain is going to use a shared or a dedicated IP address. What number of subdomains you are going to have is completely up to you as we haven't restricted this feature for any of our packages.
Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers
Our semi-dedicated hosting plans don't have a restriction for the amount of subdomains which you can create. Adding a new subdomain inside the account takes only a few mouse clicks in the Hepsia website hosting Control Panel and during the process you can choose the folder the subdomain is going to access if it is going to be different from the default one, set up customized error pages, enable FrontPage Extensions if you need them or set a dedicated IP address as opposed to the shared server one if you have added this upgrade to your semi-dedicated account. When the subdomain is created, you'll be able to access logs and visitor stats or you can easily jump to the site files for it in the File Manager section through instant access buttons. All subdomains that you've got inside the account will be conveniently listed under their root domain, so you are going to be able to find and manage any of them easily.
