A subdomain is a website url, that's under a main, or a root domain name. One example is something.domain.com, in which 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 completely independent and even hosted by a separate service provider. Using a subdomain could be very beneficial if you wish to have different web sites that are related in some way. For instance, you may have an on-line store under the main domain along with a forum under a subdomain in order to supply means for your customers to ask questions and / or share experiences concerning your products. The advantage of employing 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 not affecting the other.
Subdomains in Shared Website Hosting
Our shared website hosting plans will permit you to set up hundreds of subdomains for every domain hosted in your account without any hassle. If the main domain address is added, it requires two clicks to create a subdomain and select what folder it's going to open (if different from the default one), set customized 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 management. By right-clicking on any one of them and by using instant access buttons you can view the error logs, visitor statistics or website files for that specific subdomain. We have not set a limit for the total amount of subdomains you can create with any of our plans, so you can have as many as you need.
Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Hosting
When you purchase a semi-dedicated server package, you'll be able to create as many subdomains as you want simply because this feature is unrestricted. Considering that the web hosting plans are very powerful, we have decided not to put any restriction on the number of subdomains. Our innovative Hepsia Control Panel will enable you to create a new subdomain with no more than a few mouse clicks, to choose which folder it will access in the account, to activate FrontPage Extensions for it, to create unique error pages, to create a shared or a dedicated IP address if you have one, and many more. To make it easier for you, all subdomains will be listed under their root domain, so that you can effortlessly see and handle them. Through quick access links, you will also be able to open the site files for any of the subdomains that you have or check out its DNS records.
