A subdomain is a web address, that's 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 website and records i.e. aside from employing the domain name as part of the whole web address, a subdomain can be entirely independent and even hosted by a separate provider. Employing a subdomain can be extremely handy if you want to have different web sites which are associated in some way. As an example, you may have a web-based store under the main domain plus a forum under a subdomain so as to supply means for your clients to ask questions or share views regarding your products. The benefit of employing a subdomain as opposed to a subfolder is that the sites will be separated, so that you can update one of them or perform maintenance without affecting the other.

Subdomains in Shared Website Hosting

Our shared website hosting packages will enable you to set up countless subdomains for any domain address hosted within your account without any difficulty. Assuming that the main domain is added, it requires 2 clicks to set up a subdomain and pick what folder it'll open (if different from the default one), create custom error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions, set a shared IP address or a dedicated one, and a lot 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 amount of subdomains that you can create with any of our plans, so you can have as many as you want.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers

Our semi-dedicated hosting plans haven't got a limit for the amount of subdomains that you can create. Adding a new subdomain inside the account takes only a couple of mouse clicks within the Hepsia hosting Control Panel and during the process you can pick the folder the subdomain is going to access if it will be different from the default one, create tailor-made error pages, enable FrontPage Extensions if you need them or set a dedicated IP address instead of the shared server one in case you have added this upgrade to your semi-dedicated account. After the subdomain is created, you will be able to access logs and visitor statistics or quickly jump to the website files for it within the File Manager area by using instant access buttons. All subdomains you have in the account will be conveniently listed under their root domain, so you're going to be able to find and handle every single one of them effortlessly.
