A subdomain is a web address, that is under a main, or a root domain. An example is something.domain.com, in which 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 employing the domain name as a part of the whole web address, a subdomain can be completely independent and also hosted by a separate service provider. Using a subdomain can be very useful if you'd like to have different web sites which are related in some way. As an example, you can have a web-based store under the main domain plus a forum under a subdomain in order to supply means for your customers to ask questions or share opinions about your products. The advantage of employing a subdomain rather than a subfolder is that the web sites are going to be separated, so that you can update one of them or perform maintenance not affecting the other.
Subdomains in Website Hosting
When you obtain a website hosting package from us, you'll be able to create subdomains effortlessly via your Hepsia hosting CP. We have decided not to restrict their number, so even when you host only 1 domain address in the account, you'll be able to create as many subdomains as you want and have a different website for each one of them. During the creation of a subdomain, you'll be able to select the folder within the account that it's going to open, set up personalized error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions and error logs, select a server shared IP address or a dedicated one if you have such, plus much more. All hosted domain addresses and the subdomains you create for them will be conveniently listed in alphabetical order in one place and you will be able to access many functions for every one of them through right-click context menus - records, files, etc.
Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers
You will be able to create as many subdomains as you wish with any one of our semi-dedicated hosting service because we have not set an upper limit for this feature. The Hepsia web hosting Control Panel will enable you to add a new subdomain with a few clicks and you'll 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 which are provided in your account, activate FrontPage Extensions, add an SSL certificate, plus much more. Even if you set up a large number of subdomains, you will 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 any one of them, you can even access the site files or see logs and usage stats using fast access buttons.
