A subdomain is a website address, that is under a main, or a root domain name. An illustration is something.domain.com, where domain.com is the main domain address, while "something" is the subdomain below it. Every subdomain can have its own site and records i.e. aside from using the domain name as part of the whole web address, a subdomain can be fully independent and also hosted by a separate service provider. Employing a subdomain can be very practical if you'd like to have different websites which are associated in some way. For example, you can have an online store under the main domain as well as a forum under a subdomain so as to provide means for your clients to ask questions and / or share opinions about your products. The main advantage 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 without affecting the other.

Subdomains in Hosting

Our hosting plans will enable you to set up hundreds of subdomains for every domain hosted inside your account without any hassle. Provided that the main domain address is added, it requires 2 clicks to set up a subdomain and pick what folder it'll 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 convenient access and control. By right-clicking on any of them and by using fast access buttons you can view the error logs, visitor statistics or website files for that specific subdomain. We have not set a restriction for the total amount of subdomains that you can create with any of our plans, so you can have as many as you want.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you get a semi-dedicated server package, you will be able to create as many subdomains as you'd like as this feature is unlimited. Considering that the hosting packages are very powerful, we have decided not to put any limit on the number of subdomains. Our innovative Hepsia Control Panel will enable you to create a new subdomain with no more than a few clicks, to choose which folder it will access inside the account, to enable FrontPage Extensions for it, to create custom error pages, to create a shared or a dedicated IP address if you have one, and much more. To make it easier for you, all subdomains are going to be listed under their root domain, so that you can easily see and handle them. Through fast access links, you'll be able to open the website files for any one of the subdomains that you have or check out its DNS records.
