A subdomain is a website url, which is under a main, or a root domain name. An illustration 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 site and records i.e. apart from employing the domain name as a part of the whole web address, a subdomain can be fully independent and also hosted by a different company. Employing a subdomain can be quite beneficial if you want to have different sites that are related in some way. As an example, you could have an online store under the main domain plus a forum under a subdomain in order to provide means for your customers to ask questions or share views about your products. The advantage of using a subdomain rather than a subfolder is that the web sites are going to be separated, so you are able to update one of them or perform maintenance without affecting the other.
Subdomains in Hosting
Our hosting packages will allow you to set up countless subdomains for every domain name hosted within your account without any difficulty. As long as the main domain is added, it takes 2 clicks to set up a subdomain and pick 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 much more. All subdomains will 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 instant access buttons you can view the error logs, visitor statistics or website files for that particular subdomain. We have not set a limit for the total amount of subdomains you can create with any one of our plans, so you can have as many as you need.
Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Hosting
You’re able to create as many subdomains as you wish with any of our Linux semi-dedicated hosting packages since we haven't set a maximum limit for this feature. The Hepsia website hosting Control Panel will permit you to add a new subdomain with just a few mouse clicks and you will be able to access a variety of advanced features during the process - replace the default access folder, select 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, and more. Even if you set up a large number of subdomains, you're going to be able to keep track of all of them with ease as they will be listed in alphabetical order under their main domain. For any of them, you can also access the website files or view logs and usage stats via fast access buttons.
