A subdomain is a website url, which is under a main, or a root domain. An illustration is something.domain.com, where domain.com is the main domain, 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 a part of the whole web address, a subdomain can be entirely independent and also hosted by a different provider. Employing a subdomain can be very beneficial if you wish to have different web sites that are associated in some way. For instance, you could have an on-line store under the main domain as well as a forum under a subdomain so as to offer means for your customers to ask questions and / or share thoughts regarding your products. The main advantage of employing a subdomain instead of a subfolder is that the sites are going to be separated, so you can update one of them or perform maintenance without affecting the other.

Subdomains in Website Hosting

Our website hosting plans will allow you to create hundreds of subdomains for any domain hosted within your account without any hassle. If the main domain is added, it will take 2 mouse clicks to create a subdomain and choose what folder it'll open (if different from the default one), create unique error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions, set a shared IP address or a dedicated one, and more. All subdomains are going to be conveniently listed in alphabetical order under their main domain for quick access and control. By right-clicking on any of them and by using instant access buttons you can see 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’ll be able to create as many subdomains as you wish with any of our Linux semi-dedicated services as we have not set an upper limit for this feature. The Hepsia website hosting Control Panel will allow you to add a new subdomain with just a few clicks and you will be able to 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 which are available in your account, activate FrontPage Extensions, add an SSL certificate, plus much more. Even if you create a great number of subdomains, you will be able to keep track of all of them with ease since they are going to be listed in alphabetical order under their main domain. For any one of them, you are able to access the web site files or see logs and usage stats using instant access buttons.
