A subdomain is a website url, which is under a main, or a root domain. One example 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 totally independent and also hosted by a different company. Using a subdomain can be very handy if you want to have different web sites that are connected in some way. For instance, you could have an on-line store under the main domain along with a forum under a subdomain so as to provide means for your clients to ask questions or share opinions concerning your products. The main advantage of employing a subdomain rather than a subfolder is that the web sites will be separated, so you're able to update one of them or perform maintenance not affecting the other.
Subdomains in Shared Hosting
Our shared hosting packages will permit you to set up countless subdomains for every domain hosted inside your account without any hassle. If the main domain name is added, it takes two mouse clicks to create 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, plus much more. All subdomains will be conveniently listed in alphabetical order under their main domain for quick access and administration. By right-clicking on any one of them and by using fast access buttons you can view the error logs, visitor statistics or website files for that specific subdomain. We have not set a limit for the total number of subdomains that you can create with any of our plans, so you can have as many as you need.
Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers
When you purchase a semi-dedicated server package, you're going to be able to create as many subdomains as you want since this feature is unrestricted. Since the hosting plans are very powerful, we've decided not to set any cap on the number of subdomains. Our innovative Hepsia CP will allow you to create a new subdomain with no more than a couple of mouse clicks, to select which folder it's going to access in the account, to enable FrontPage Extensions for it, to create unique error pages, to create a shared or a dedicated IP address if you have one, and many more. For your convenience, all of the subdomains are going to be listed under their root domain, so you can easily see and manage them. Through quick access links, you'll have the ability to open the website files for any of the subdomains that you have or check out its DNS records.
