A subdomain is a website url, that is under a main, or a root domain name. An illustration is something.domain.com, where domain.com is the main domain address, while "something" is the subdomain below it. Each and every subdomain can have its own site and records i.e. apart from using the domain name as a part of the whole web address, a subdomain can be completely independent and also hosted by a different company. Using a subdomain can be quite handy if you wish to have different web sites that are associated in some way. For instance, you can have an on-line store under the main domain and a forum under a subdomain in order to supply means for your clients to ask questions and share views concerning your products. The advantage of employing 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 not affecting the other.

Subdomains in Hosting

Our hosting plans will permit you to set up countless subdomains for any domain name hosted inside your account without any problem. Assuming that the main domain name is added, it will take two 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, plus much more. All subdomains will be conveniently listed in alphabetical order under their main domain for convenient access and control. By right-clicking on any of them and by using fast access buttons you can view the error logs, visitor statistics or site files for that particular subdomain. We have not 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

You’re able to create as many subdomains as you would like with any of our semi-dedicated plans since we haven't set a maximum limit for this feature. The Hepsia web hosting CP will permit you to add a new subdomain with only a few mouse clicks and you are going to be able to access a number of advanced features during the process - replace the default access folder, choose the IP address the subdomain will use from the shared and dedicated ones that are available in your account, activate FrontPage Extensions, add an SSL certificate, and a lot more. Even if you create a huge amount of subdomains, you're going to be able to keep track of them with ease as they will be listed in alphabetical order under their main domain. For any of them, you are able to access the web site files or view logs and usage statistics via quick access buttons.
