A subdomain is a website address, which is under a main, or a root domain name. An example is something.domain.com, where domain.com is the main domain address, while "something" is the subdomain below it. 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 fully independent and even hosted by a different provider. Employing a subdomain can be extremely beneficial if you wish to have different sites that are associated in some way. For example, you can have an online store under the main domain and a forum under a subdomain so as to supply means for your customers to ask questions or share experiences concerning your products. The benefit of employing a subdomain instead of a subfolder is that the web sites are going to be separated, so you can update one of them or perform maintenance not affecting the other.

Subdomains in Website Hosting

If you obtain a website hosting package from our company, you will be able to create subdomains easily using your Hepsia website hosting Control Panel. We have decided not to limit their number, so in case you host only one domain address in the account, you're going to be able to create as many subdomains as you wish and have a different website for each one. During the creation of a subdomain, you are able to choose the folder inside the account that it's going to open, set up custom 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 that you create for them are going to be conveniently listed in alphabetical order in one location and you will be able to gain access to lots of functions for each one of them through right-click context menus - records, files, etc.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Hosting

When you get a semi-dedicated server package, you are going to be able to create as many subdomains as you'd like as this feature is unlimited. Since the website hosting packages are quite powerful, we have decided not to set any cap on the number of subdomains. Our innovative Hepsia CP will allow you to create a new subdomain with no more than a couple of clicks, to select which folder it is going to access inside the account, to enable FrontPage Extensions for it, to create custom error pages, to set a shared or a dedicated IP address if you have one, and many more. For your convenience, all of the subdomains will be listed under their root domain, so you can easily see and manage them. Through fast access links, you'll have the ability to open the site files for each of the subdomains that you have or see its DNS records.
