A subdomain is a web address, that 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. Each and every subdomain can have its own site and records i.e. aside from using the domain name as a part of the whole web address, a subdomain can be totally independent and even hosted by a different service provider. Using a subdomain can be quite practical if you wish to have different web sites that are related in some way. For example, you could have an on-line store under the main domain as well as a forum under a subdomain so as to provide means for your clients to ask questions and share experiences regarding your products. The benefit of employing a subdomain as opposed to a subfolder is that the web sites will be separated, so you can update one of them or perform maintenance without affecting the other.
Subdomains in Web Hosting
If you buy a web hosting package through our company, you'll be able to create subdomains easily through your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. We've decided not to limit their number, so in case you host just one domain name in the account, you'll be able to create as many subdomains as you would like and have a different site for each one of them. During the creation of a subdomain, you are able to select the folder within the account that it's going to open, create customized error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions and error logs, choose a server shared IP address or a dedicated one if you have such, and 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'll be able to access a lot of functions for every one of them with right-click context menus - records, files, etc.
Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers
You can create as many subdomains as you wish with any of our semi-dedicated hosting plans as we have not set a maximum limit for this feature. The Hepsia hosting CP will permit you to add a new subdomain with just a few 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 that are provided in your account, activate FrontPage Extensions, add an SSL certificate, and more. Even if you set up a huge amount of subdomains, you are going to be able to keep track of all of them with ease because they will be listed in alphabetical order below their main domain. For any of them, you are able to access the web site files or check out logs and usage stats using fast access buttons.
