A subdomain is a web address, which is under a main, or a root domain. One example is something.domain.com, where domain.com is the main domain, while "something" is the subdomain below it. Each subdomain can have its own website and records i.e. aside from employing the domain name as a part of the whole web address, a subdomain can be fully independent and also hosted by a separate company. Using a subdomain can be quite beneficial if you want to have different sites that are related 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 and share views concerning your products. The best thing about using a subdomain instead of a subfolder is that the websites are going to be separated, so you are able to update one of them or perform maintenance without affecting the other.
Subdomains in Hosting
Each hosting package which we supply will permit you to create many subdomains with no more than a few mouse clicks in your website hosting CP. They'll all be listed in the section where you create them and arranged under the main domain for more convenience, so that you're able to effortlessly keep tabs on every one of them. Furthermore, you can access lots of functions for any one of the subdomains using right-click context menus - for instance, you can view or modify their DNS records, access the site files, and much more. While setting up a new subdomain, you're also going to have a number of options that you can choose from - determine the default access folder, set custom error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions or pick if the subdomain is going to use a shared or a dedicated IP address. The number of subdomains you will have is 100 % up to you as we have not restricted this feature for any of our plans.
Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers
Our Linux semi-dedicated servers don't have a limit for the number of subdomains you can create. Adding a new subdomain inside the account takes only a few mouse clicks in the Hepsia website hosting CP and throughout the process you can select the folder the subdomain is going to access if it will be different from the default one, create custom-made error pages, enable FrontPage Extensions if you need them or create a dedicated IP address instead of the shared server one provided you have added this upgrade to your semi-dedicated account. After the subdomain is set up, you'll be able to access logs and visitor stats or swiftly jump to the site files for it inside the File Manager area via instant access buttons. All subdomains you have inside the account will be conveniently listed under their root domain, so you're going to be able to find and manage every single one of them with ease.
