A subdomain is a web address, which is under a main, or a root domain. An example is something.domain.com, in which domain.com is the main domain address, while "something" is the subdomain below it. Each and every subdomain can have its own website and records i.e. apart from using the domain name as part of the whole web address, a subdomain can be entirely independent and even hosted by a separate company. Using a subdomain can be extremely handy if you wish to have different sites which are connected in some way. For instance, you can have an online store under the main domain and a forum under a subdomain in order to provide means for your clients to ask questions and share opinions about your products. The benefit of using a subdomain rather than a subfolder is that the web sites are going to be separated, so you're able to update one of them or perform maintenance not affecting the other.

Subdomains in Cloud Hosting

When you use cloud hosting plans you are going to be able to create subdomains with just a couple of clicks in your web hosting CP. All of them will be listed in one location along with the domain addresses hosted in the account and grouped under their own domain in order to make their administration much easier. Whatever the plan that you select, you'll be able to create numerous subdomains and set their access folder or set up custom error pages during the process. You'll have access to many functions for any of them with only a click, so from the very same section where you create them you can access their DNS records, files, visitor statistics, etc. Unlike other companies, we have not restricted the number of subdomains which you can have even if you host just one domain name inside the account.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you buy a semi-dedicated server plan, you will be able to create as many subdomains as you wish simply because this feature is unrestricted. For the reason that the website hosting plans are rather powerful, we've decided not to set any cap on the amount of subdomains. Our advanced Hepsia Control Panel will allow you to create a new subdomain with no more than a few clicks, to select which folder it will access within 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 a lot more. To make it easier for you, all subdomains are going to be listed under their root domain, allowing you to effortlessly see and handle them. With instant access links, you will also have the ability to open the website files for any of the subdomains that you have or view its DNS records.
