A subdomain is a web address, which is under a main, or a root domain. An illustration 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 totally independent and also hosted by a separate provider. Employing a subdomain could be very beneficial if you'd like to have different web sites which are related in some way. As an example, you may have an on-line store under the main domain as well as a forum under a subdomain so as to provide means for your clients to ask questions or share views about your products. The main advantage of employing a subdomain as opposed to a subfolder is that the web sites will be separated, so you are able to update one of them or perform maintenance not affecting the other.
Subdomains in Shared Hosting
Our shared hosting plans will enable you to create many subdomains for every domain name hosted inside your account without any difficulty. If the main domain is added, it will take 2 mouse clicks to set up a subdomain and choose what folder it will open (if different from the default one), set unique 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 quick access and management. By right-clicking on any of them and by using quick access buttons you can see the error logs, visitor statistics or website files for that specific subdomain. We have not set a limit for the amount of subdomains 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 servers don't have a set limit for the amount of subdomains you can create. Adding a new subdomain within the account takes just a couple of mouse clicks inside the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel and in the process you can pick the folder the subdomain will access if it is going to be different from the default one, set up tailor-made error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions if you need them or set a dedicated IP address as opposed to the shared server one provided you have added this upgrade to your semi-dedicated account. Once the subdomain is created, you'll be able to access logs and visitor stats or swiftly jump to the site files for it in the File Manager area through fast access buttons. All subdomains you've got within the account will be conveniently listed under their root domain, so you'll be able to find and manage any of them effortlessly.
