A subdomain is a website url, which is under a main, or a root domain name. One 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 site and records i.e. apart from employing the domain name as a part of the whole web address, a subdomain can be totally independent and even hosted by a different company. Using a subdomain could be very beneficial if you want to have different sites which are associated in some way. For instance, you may have an online store under the main domain and a forum under a subdomain so as to offer means for your customers to ask questions and / or share opinions about your products. The best thing about employing a subdomain as opposed to a subfolder is that the sites will be separated, so you can update one of them or perform maintenance not affecting the other.

Subdomains in Cloud Hosting

Our cloud hosting plans will permit you to set up numerous subdomains for every domain hosted in your account without any problem. If the main domain is added, it requires 2 mouse clicks to create a subdomain and pick what folder it will open (if different from the default one), set unique error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions, set a shared IP address or a dedicated one, plus much more. All subdomains are going to be conveniently listed in alphabetical order under their main domain for easy access and administration. By right-clicking on any one of them and by using fast access buttons you can view the error logs, visitor statistics or website files for that specific subdomain. We haven't set a restriction for the amount of subdomains that you can create with any of our plans, so you can have as many as you need.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Hosting

You can create as many subdomains as you wish with any of our Linux semi-dedicated hosting packages as we have not set an upper limit for this feature. The Hepsia hosting Control Panel allows you to add a new subdomain with only a few clicks and you'll be able to access a number of advanced features during the process - change the default access folder, pick the IP address the subdomain will use from the shared and dedicated ones that are available in your account, activate FrontPage Extensions, add an SSL certificate, plus much more. Even if you create a large number of subdomains, you are going to be able to keep track of all of them with ease because they will be listed in alphabetical order below their main domain. For each of them, you can also access the website files or see logs and usage statistics via instant access buttons.
