A subdomain is a website address, that's under a main, or a root domain name. One example is something.domain.com, in which domain.com is the main domain, while "something" is the subdomain below it. Each subdomain can have its own website and records i.e. apart from using the domain name as a part of the whole web address, a subdomain can be totally independent and also hosted by a separate service provider. Using a subdomain could be very useful if you'd like to have different sites which are associated in some way. For instance, you could have an online store under the main domain as well as a forum under a subdomain so as to provide means for your clients to ask questions and share experiences about your products. The benefit of employing a subdomain instead of a subfolder is that the web sites will be separated, so you are able to update one of them or perform maintenance without affecting the other.

Subdomains in Hosting

Our hosting packages will enable you to create hundreds of subdomains for any domain address hosted within your account without any difficulty. If the main domain name is added, it takes two mouse clicks to create a subdomain and select what folder it will open (if different from the default one), create customized error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions, set a shared IP address or a dedicated one, and more. All subdomains will be conveniently listed in alphabetical order under their main domain for convenient access and control. By right-clicking on any one of them and by using fast access buttons you can view the error logs, visitor statistics or site files for that specific subdomain. We have not set a restriction for the total amount of subdomains which you can create with any one of our plans, so you can have as many as you wish.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers

You will be able to create as many subdomains as you want with any one of our Linux semi-dedicated servers because we have not set an upper limit for this feature. The Hepsia website hosting Control Panel will permit you to add a new subdomain with only a few mouse clicks and you can access a number of advanced features during the process - modify the default access folder, choose the IP address the subdomain will use from the shared and dedicated ones that are provided in your account, activate FrontPage Extensions, add an SSL certificate, and much more. Even if you set up a great number of subdomains, you're going to be able to keep track of them with ease because they are going to be listed in alphabetical order under their main domain. For any of them, you can even access the web site files or view logs and usage stats through fast access buttons.
