A subdomain is a website address, which is under a main, or a root domain name. An illustration is something.domain.com, in which domain.com is the main domain address, while "something" is the subdomain below it. Every subdomain can have its own site and records i.e. apart from using the domain name as part of the whole web address, a subdomain can be entirely independent and even hosted by a separate company. Using a subdomain can be quite handy if you'd like to have different sites that are related in some way. For instance, you could have an online store under the main domain along with a forum under a subdomain in order to provide means for your clients to ask questions or share views concerning your products. The benefit of employing a subdomain instead of a subfolder is that the sites are going to be separated, so that you can update one of them or perform maintenance not affecting the other.

Subdomains in Shared Hosting

If you acquire a shared hosting plan from us, you're going to be able to create subdomains easily through your Hepsia hosting CP. We have decided not to restrict their amount, so even when you host just one domain in the account, you will be able to create as many subdomains as you would like and have a different site for every one. During the creation of a subdomain, you can pick the folder in the account that it'll open, create personalized error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions and error logs, select a server shared IP address or a dedicated one if you have such, plus much more. All hosted domain names and the subdomains you create for them will be conveniently listed in alphabetical order in one location and you will be able to gain access to a lot of functions for every single one of them with right-click context menus - records, files, etc.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers

When you buy a semi-dedicated server plan, you are going to be able to create as many subdomains as you'd like simply because this feature is unrestricted. For the reason that the web hosting packages are rather powerful, we've decided not to put any restriction on the amount of subdomains. Our sophisticated Hepsia Control Panel will allow you to create a new subdomain with no more than a couple of clicks, to select which folder it will access within the account, to enable FrontPage Extensions for it, to set up unique error pages, to set a shared or a dedicated IP address if you have one, and much more. To make it easier for you, all subdomains will be listed under their root domain, so that you can very easily see and handle them. Using fast access links, you will also have the ability to open the site files for any one of the subdomains that you have or see its DNS records.
