A subdomain is a web address, that is under a main, or a root domain. One example is something.domain.com, where domain.com is the main domain name, while "something" is the subdomain below it. Each subdomain can have its own site and records i.e. aside from using the domain name as a part of the whole web address, a subdomain can be completely independent and also hosted by a different company. Employing a subdomain can be very useful if you wish to have different web sites which are associated in some way. As an example, you could have an online store under the main domain plus a forum under a subdomain so as to supply means for your customers to ask questions and share opinions about your products. The best thing about using 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 without affecting the other.
Subdomains in Shared Hosting
When you use shared hosting plans you will be able to create subdomains with just a few mouse clicks in your web hosting CP. All of them are going to be listed in a single spot along with the domains hosted in the account and arranged under their own domain to help make their managing easier. No matter the plan that you select, you will be able to create hundreds of subdomains and set their access folder or create custom error pages during the process. Additionally, you will have access to many functions for any of them with only a mouse click, so from the very same section in which you create them you can access their DNS records, files, visitor statistics, etc. As opposed to other providers, we have not limited the amount of subdomains which you can have even if you host one domain address within the account.
Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers
When you get a semi-dedicated server package, you are going to be able to create as many subdomains as you'd like because this feature is unrestricted. Since the hosting packages are rather powerful, we've decided not to put any restriction on the amount of subdomains. Our advanced Hepsia CP will enable you to create a new subdomain with no more than a few clicks, to choose which folder it is going to access in the account, to enable FrontPage Extensions for it, to set up unique error pages, to set a shared or a dedicated IP address if you have one, and more. To make it easier for you, all subdomains will be listed under their root domain, allowing you to easily see and handle them. Through fast access links, you'll have the ability to open the site files for any one of the subdomains that you have or check out its DNS records.
