A subdomain is a website url, that's under a main, or a root domain name. 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 employing the domain name as a part of the whole web address, a subdomain can be fully independent and also hosted by a different provider. Using a subdomain could be very practical if you'd like to have different web sites which are associated in some way. For instance, you may have an on-line store under the main domain and a forum under a subdomain in order to provide means for your customers to ask questions and / or share experiences about your products. The advantage of employing 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 Web Hosting

Our cloud web hosting plans will permit you to set up many subdomains for any domain name hosted inside your account without any hassle. If the main domain name is added, it takes two mouse clicks to create a subdomain and pick what folder it will open (if different from the default one), set custom error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions, set a shared IP address or a dedicated one, plus much more. All subdomains are going to be conveniently listed in alphabetical order under their main domain for easy access and administration. By right-clicking on any one of them and by using instant access buttons you can see the error logs, visitor statistics or website files for that specific subdomain. We have not set a restriction for the amount of subdomains you can create with any of our plans, so you can have as many as you wish.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you acquire a semi-dedicated server plan, you're going to be able to create as many subdomains as you want because this feature is unrestricted. Since the web hosting plans are quite powerful, we've decided not to put any restriction on the number of subdomains. Our advanced Hepsia Control Panel will enable you to create a new subdomain with no more than a couple of mouse clicks, to choose which folder it will access within the account, to activate FrontPage Extensions for it, to set up unique error pages, to set a shared or a dedicated IP address if you have one, and many more. To make it easier for you, all subdomains are going to be listed under their root domain, allowing you to very easily see and control them. Through instant access links, you'll have the ability to open the website files for any of the subdomains that you have or check out its DNS records.
