A subdomain is a website url, which is under a main, or a root domain. An example is something.domain.com, where domain.com is the main domain, while "something" is the subdomain below it. Each subdomain can have its own site and records i.e. aside 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 provider. Employing a subdomain could be very handy if you'd like to have different web sites that are associated in some way. For instance, you may have an on-line store under the main domain and a forum under a subdomain in order to offer means for your customers to ask questions or share experiences regarding your products. The main advantage of employing a subdomain as opposed to a subfolder is that the sites will be separated, so you're able to update one of them or perform maintenance not affecting the other.

Subdomains in Hosting

Our hosting packages will permit you to create hundreds of subdomains for any domain hosted in your account without any problem. Assuming that the main domain address is added, it will take two mouse clicks to set up a subdomain and choose what folder it will open (if different from the default one), set customized error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions, set a shared IP address or a dedicated one, and much more. All subdomains are going to be conveniently listed in alphabetical order under their main domain for effortless access and management. By right-clicking on any of them and by using fast access buttons you can see the error logs, visitor statistics or website files for that specific subdomain. We have not set a restriction for the total number of subdomains which you can create with any of our plans, so you can have as many as you need.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Hosting

You are able to create as many subdomains as you would like with any one of our semi-dedicated hosting since we have not set an upper limit for this feature. The Hepsia web hosting CP allows you to add a new subdomain with just a few mouse clicks and you'll be able to access a variety 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 which are provided in your account, activate FrontPage Extensions, add an SSL certificate, plus much more. Even if you create a large number of subdomains, you'll be able to keep track of them with ease as they will be listed in alphabetical order below their main domain. For any of them, you can even access the site files or see logs and usage statistics using fast access buttons.
