A subdomain is a website address, that is under a main, or a root domain. An example is something.domain.com, in which domain.com is the main domain address, while "something" is the subdomain below it. Each and every subdomain can have its own website and records i.e. apart from employing the domain name as a part of the whole web address, a subdomain can be completely independent and also hosted by a different provider. Using a subdomain could be very beneficial if you want to have different web sites which are associated in some way. As an example, you could have an on-line store under the main domain plus a forum under a subdomain so as to offer means for your customers to ask questions or share experiences regarding your products. The main advantage of using a subdomain as opposed to a subfolder is that the sites will be separated, so that you can update one of them or perform maintenance without affecting the other.
Subdomains in Shared Hosting
If you get a shared hosting plan from us, you will be able to create subdomains effortlessly using your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. We have decided not to restrict their amount, so even when you host only 1 domain name in the account, you'll be able to create as many subdomains as you wish and have a different site for each and every one of them. During the creation of a subdomain, you can choose the folder in the account that it will open, create personalized error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions and error logs, choose a server shared IP address or a dedicated one if you have such, plus much more. All hosted domains and the subdomains that you create for them are going to be conveniently listed in alphabetical order in one location and you are going to be able to gain access to a lot of functions for each one of them through right-click context menus - records, files, etc.
Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers
You are able to create as many subdomains as you wish with any one of our semi-dedicated servers because we have not set an upper limit for this feature. The Hepsia website hosting Control Panel allows you to add a new subdomain with only a few mouse clicks and you are going to be able to access a variety of advanced features during the process - replace the default access folder, choose the IP address the subdomain will use from the shared and dedicated ones which are available in your account, activate FrontPage Extensions, add an SSL certificate, and much more. Even if you create a great number of subdomains, you'll be able to keep track of all of them with ease as they are going to be listed in alphabetical order below their main domain. For every single one of them, you are able to access the site files or view logs and usage statistics via quick access buttons.
