A subdomain is a web address, that's under a main, or a root domain name. An example is something.domain.com, in which domain.com is the main domain, 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 a part of the whole web address, a subdomain can be entirely independent and also hosted by a separate provider. Using a subdomain could be very practical if you want to have different websites that are connected in some way. For instance, you could have an on-line store under the main domain as well as a forum under a subdomain so as to supply means for your customers to ask questions or share opinions about your products. The advantage of employing a subdomain instead of a subfolder is that the websites will be separated, so that you can update one of them or perform maintenance without affecting the other.

Subdomains in Cloud Hosting

Our cloud hosting packages will enable you to create countless subdomains for any domain name hosted inside your account without any problem. As long as the main domain is added, it will take two mouse clicks to create a subdomain and select what folder it will open (if different from the default one), create unique error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions, set a shared IP address or a dedicated one, and much more. All subdomains will be conveniently listed in alphabetical order under their main domain for convenient access and control. By right-clicking on any of them and by using quick access buttons you can see the error logs, visitor statistics or site files for that particular subdomain. We haven't set a restriction for the total amount of subdomains which you can create with any one of our plans, so you can have as many as you wish.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you acquire a semi-dedicated server package, you are going to be able to create as many subdomains as you'd like since this feature is unlimited. Since the website hosting plans are quite powerful, we've decided not to put any limit on the number of subdomains. Our innovative Hepsia CP will permit you to create a new subdomain with no more than a couple of mouse clicks, to choose which folder it's going to access inside the account, to activate FrontPage Extensions for it, to create custom error pages, to set a shared or a dedicated IP address if you have one, and more. For your convenience, all subdomains will be listed under their root domain, so you can easily see and handle them. Using fast access links, you will also be able to open the website files for each of the subdomains that you have or see its DNS records.
