A subdomain is a website address, which is under a main, or a root domain name. One 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 part of the whole web address, a subdomain can be entirely independent and also hosted by a separate provider. Employing a subdomain could be very useful if you'd like to have different sites that are related in some way. As an example, you may have an on-line store under the main domain plus a forum under a subdomain in order to supply means for your clients to ask questions and share views concerning your products. The benefit of employing a subdomain instead of a subfolder is that the websites will be separated, so that you can update one of them or perform maintenance without affecting the other.

Subdomains in Cloud Hosting

Each cloud hosting plan that we provide will allow you to create hundreds of subdomains with no more than a couple of mouse clicks in your hosting Control Panel. They'll all be listed in the area where you create them and grouped under the main domain for more convenience, so that you can very easily keep an eye on them all. In addition, you can access lots of functions for any of the subdomains via right-click context menus - for instance, you can view or edit their DNS records, access the site files, and much more. While creating a new subdomain, you will also have numerous options that you can pick from - specify the default access folder, set customized error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions or pick if the subdomain is going to use a shared or a dedicated IP address. The amount of subdomains you'll have is completely up to you as we have not restricted this feature for any one of our packages.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers

You’ll be able to create as many subdomains as you wish with any of our Linux semi-dedicated servers as we have not set a maximum limit for this feature. The Hepsia hosting Control Panel will allow you to add a new subdomain with just a few mouse clicks and you can access a variety of advanced features during the process - change the default access folder, choose the IP address the subdomain will use from the shared and dedicated ones that are offered in your account, activate FrontPage Extensions, add an SSL certificate, plus much more. Even if you set up a huge amount of subdomains, you will be able to keep track of them with ease since they are going to be listed in alphabetical order below their main domain. For any one of them, you can also access the site files or see logs and usage stats using instant access buttons.
