A subdomain is a website url, which is under a main, or a root domain name. An example is something.domain.com, in which domain.com is the main domain name, while "something" is the subdomain below it. Every subdomain can have its own website and records i.e. aside from employing the domain name as part of the whole web address, a subdomain can be completely independent and even hosted by a separate service provider. Using a subdomain can be very beneficial if you wish to have different web sites which are associated in some way. For example, you may have a web-based store under the main domain plus a forum under a subdomain in order to provide means for your customers to ask questions and / or share thoughts concerning your products. The main advantage of employing a subdomain rather than 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
When you buy a cloud web hosting plan from our company, you are going to be able to create subdomains effortlessly using your Hepsia website hosting CP. We have decided not to restrict their number, so in case you host just one domain in the account, you'll be able to create as many subdomains as you would like and have a different website for each one of them. During the creation of a subdomain, you can choose the folder inside the account that it'll open, set up custom error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions and error logs, select a server shared IP address or a dedicated one if you have such, and a lot more. All hosted domain addresses and the subdomains you create for them are going to be conveniently listed in alphabetical order in one spot and you'll be able to access lots of functions for each one of them through right-click context menus - records, files, etc.
Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers
Our semi-dedicated plans do not have a limit for the number of subdomains you can create. Adding a new subdomain inside the account takes just a few clicks within the Hepsia website hosting Control Panel and throughout the process you can pick the folder the subdomain is going to access if it is going to be different from the default one, set up custom error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions if you need them or set a dedicated IP address rather than the shared server one if you have added this upgrade to your semi-dedicated account. Once the subdomain is created, you'll be able to access logs and visitor stats or quickly jump to the site files for it within the File Manager section by using fast access buttons. All subdomains you've got in the account will be conveniently listed under their root domain, so you're going to be able to find and handle every single one of them effortlessly.
