A subdomain is a website address, which is under a main, or a root domain. An example is something.domain.com, where domain.com is the main domain, while "something" is the subdomain below it. Each and every subdomain can have its own site and records i.e. apart from using the domain name as part of the whole web address, a subdomain can be totally independent and also hosted by a separate provider. Employing a subdomain can be extremely useful 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 offer means for your clients to ask questions or share opinions about your products. The best thing about using a subdomain instead of a subfolder is that the sites will be separated, so you are able to update one of them or perform maintenance not affecting the other.
Subdomains in Cloud Website Hosting
Each cloud website hosting package that we offer will allow you to create numerous subdomains with no more than a few mouse clicks in your website hosting Control Panel. They're going to be listed in the section in which you create them and arranged under the main domain for more convenience, so that you're able to effortlessly keep track of every one of them. In addition, you can access a lot of functions for any of the subdomains using right-click context menus - for example, you can view or edit their DNS records, access the website files, and much more. While setting up a new subdomain, you are also going to have many options that you can select from - determine the default access folder, set custom error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions or select if the subdomain is going to use a shared or a dedicated IP address. How many subdomains you are going to have is totally up to you as we have not limited this feature for any of our plans.
Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers
You can create as many subdomains as you would like with any one of our semi-dedicated servers because we haven't set a maximum limit for this feature. The Hepsia website hosting CP will allow you to add a new subdomain with only a few mouse clicks and you'll be able to access a number of advanced features during the process - modify the default access folder, select the IP address the subdomain will use from the shared and dedicated ones that are offered in your account, activate FrontPage Extensions, add an SSL certificate, and a lot more. Even if you create a great number of subdomains, you're going to be able to keep track of them with ease as they will be listed in alphabetical order below their main domain. For each of them, you are able to access the site files or see logs and usage statistics through instant access buttons.
