A subdomain is a website url, which is under a main, or a root domain name. An illustration is something.domain.com, in which domain.com is the main domain name, while "something" is the subdomain below it. Every subdomain can have its own website and records i.e. apart from using the domain name as a part of the whole web address, a subdomain can be totally independent and even hosted by a separate service provider. Employing a subdomain can be quite handy if you wish to have different websites that are connected in some way. As an example, you could 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 views about your products. The benefit of using a subdomain rather than a subfolder is that the websites will be separated, so that you can update one of them or perform maintenance not affecting the other.

Subdomains in Hosting

If you acquire a hosting plan from our company, you'll be able to create subdomains effortlessly via your Hepsia website hosting Control Panel. We've decided not to limit their number, so even if you host only one domain address in the account, you are going to be able to create as many subdomains as you would like and have a different site for every one. During the creation of a subdomain, you are able to pick the folder in the account that it'll open, create customized error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions and error logs, pick 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 are going to be conveniently listed in alphabetical order in one location and you'll be able to gain access to numerous functions for every one of them with right-click context menus - records, files, etc.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers

You’re able to create as many subdomains as you would like with any of our semi-dedicated hosting plans as we have not set a maximum limit for this feature.
