A subdomain is a web address, that's under a main, or a root domain. One example is something.domain.com, in which domain.com is the main domain name, 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 totally independent and also hosted by a separate company. Using a subdomain could be very practical if you wish to have different websites that are related in some way. For instance, you could have an on-line store under the main domain along with a forum under a subdomain in order to provide means for your customers to ask questions and share views regarding your products. The best thing about using a subdomain as opposed to a subfolder is that the websites are going to be separated, so that you can update one of them or perform maintenance not affecting the other.
Subdomains in Website Hosting
Each website hosting plan we offer will permit you to create many subdomains with no more than a few mouse clicks within your web hosting CP. They'll all be listed in the section where you create them and grouped under the main domain for more convenience, so you can very easily keep an eye on all of them. In addition, you can access lots of functions for any one of the subdomains through right-click context menus - for instance, you can view or modify their DNS records, access the website files, and more. While creating a new subdomain, you'll also have lots of options that you can choose from - define the default access folder, create unique 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'll have is entirely up to you as we haven't restricted this feature for any one of our plans.
Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers
You’ll be able to create as many subdomains as you want with any one of our semi-dedicated servers because we have not set a maximum limit for this feature. The Hepsia website hosting Control Panel will permit you to add a new subdomain with a few clicks and you will be able to access a variety of advanced features during the process - change the default access folder, select 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 more. Even if you create a huge amount of subdomains, you are going to be able to keep track of them with ease since they will be listed in alphabetical order under their main domain. For any of them, you are able to access the web site files or view logs and usage statistics using instant access buttons.
