A subdomain is a web address, that 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. 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 fully independent and even hosted by a different provider. Employing a subdomain can be quite useful if you'd like to have different web sites that are related in some way. For instance, you may have an on-line store under the main domain plus a forum under a subdomain in order to provide means for your customers to ask questions and share experiences regarding your products. The best thing about employing a subdomain instead of a subfolder is that the websites will be separated, so you're able to update one of them or perform maintenance not affecting the other.

Subdomains in Web Hosting

Our web hosting packages will enable you to create many subdomains for any domain hosted within your account without any problem. Provided that the main domain is added, it will take two clicks to create a subdomain and choose 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 much more. All subdomains are going to be conveniently listed in alphabetical order under their main domain for effortless access and management. By right-clicking on any of them and by using fast access buttons you can see the error logs, visitor statistics or website files for that specific subdomain. We haven't set a restriction for the total number of subdomains that you can create with any of our plans, so you can have as many as you want.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Our Linux semi-dedicated hosting services don't have a restriction for the number of subdomains that you can create. Adding a new subdomain in the account takes only a couple of clicks inside the Hepsia website hosting Control Panel and throughout the process you can pick the folder the subdomain will access if it is going to be different from the default one, set up custom error pages, enable FrontPage Extensions if you need them or set a dedicated IP address as opposed to the shared server one in case you have added this upgrade to your semi-dedicated account. When the subdomain is created, you will be able to access logs and visitor statistics or you can quickly jump to the site files for it inside the File Manager section via instant access buttons. All subdomains you have in the account will be conveniently listed under their root domain, so you are going to be able to find and manage any of them with ease.
