A subdomain is a web address, that's under a main, or a root domain. 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 site 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 even hosted by a separate company. Using a subdomain could be very beneficial if you want to have different web sites that are related in some way. As an example, you could have a web-based store under the main domain as well as a forum under a subdomain so as to offer means for your clients to ask questions and / or share experiences concerning your products. The advantage of employing a subdomain instead of a subfolder is that the sites are going to be separated, so you are able to update one of them or perform maintenance without affecting the other.
Subdomains in Cloud Web Hosting
With our cloud web hosting packages you will be able to create subdomains with a couple of clicks in your hosting CP. All of them will be listed in a single place together with the domain addresses hosted in the account and arranged under their own domain to help make their administration much easier. No matter the plan that you select, you'll be able to create hundreds of subdomains and set their access folder or create custom error pages during the process. Additionally, you'll have access to many functions for any of them with only a mouse click, so from the same section in which you create them you can access their DNS records, files, visitor statistics, etc. Unlike other providers, we haven't limited the number of subdomains which you can have even if you host only one domain name inside the account.
Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Hosting
You will be able to create as many subdomains as you wish with any one of our Linux semi-dedicated hosting since we have not set an upper limit for this feature. The Hepsia website hosting Control Panel allows you to add a new subdomain with a few clicks and you will be able to access a number of advanced features during the process - change the default access folder, pick 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, plus much more. Even if you set up 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 below their main domain. For every single one of them, you can also access the web site files or see logs and usage stats via instant access buttons.
