A subdomain is a website url, that's under a main, or a root domain. An example is something.domain.com, where domain.com is the main domain address, while "something" is the subdomain below it. Each subdomain can have its own site and records i.e. apart from employing the domain name as part of the whole web address, a subdomain can be fully independent and even hosted by a different company. Employing a subdomain can be extremely beneficial if you'd like to have different websites which are associated in some way. For example, you can have a web-based store under the main domain along with a forum under a subdomain in order to offer means for your customers to ask questions or share experiences concerning your products. The main advantage of employing a subdomain as opposed to a subfolder is that the websites will be separated, so you're able to update one of them or perform maintenance without affecting the other.

Subdomains in Shared Website Hosting

With our shared website hosting plans you'll be able to create subdomains with a few clicks in your hosting Control Panel. All of them are going to be listed in a single spot together with the domain addresses hosted in the account and arranged under their own domain so as to make their management much easier. Regardless of the plan that you choose, you're going to be able to create many subdomains and set their access folder or set up custom error pages along the way. You will also have access to many functions for any of them with just a mouse click, so from the very same section in which you create them you can access their DNS records, files, visitor statistics, etc. As opposed to other companies, we haven't restricted the amount of subdomains which you can have even if you host just one domain address within the account.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers

Our semi-dedicated servers don't have a restriction for the amount of subdomains you can create. Adding a new subdomain within the account takes only a couple of clicks in the Hepsia website hosting CP and in the process you can choose the folder the subdomain will access if it is going to be different from the default one, create custom-made error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions if you need them or create a dedicated IP address instead of the shared server one if you have added this upgrade to your semi-dedicated account. As soon as the subdomain is set up, you'll be able to access logs and visitor statistics or quickly jump to the site files for it inside the File Manager area by using quick access buttons. All subdomains that you've got in the account will be conveniently listed under their root domain, so you are going to be able to find and manage every single one of them easily.
