A subdomain is a website url, that's under a main, or a root domain name. One example is something.domain.com, where domain.com is the main domain, while "something" is the subdomain below it. Every subdomain can have its own website and records i.e. aside from using the domain name as a part of the whole web address, a subdomain can be totally independent and also hosted by a separate company. Employing a subdomain can be quite practical if you'd like to have different sites that are related in some way. For instance, you could have a web-based store under the main domain and a forum under a subdomain in order to offer means for your customers to ask questions and share views regarding your products. The benefit of employing a subdomain rather than a subfolder is that the web sites will be separated, so that you can update one of them or perform maintenance not affecting the other.
Subdomains in Shared Hosting
If you buy a shared hosting package from our company, you're going to be able to create subdomains with ease through your Hepsia website hosting CP. We have decided not to restrict their amount, so even if you host just one domain name in the account, you'll be able to create as many subdomains as you wish and have a different website for every single one of them. During the creation of a subdomain, you can choose the folder within the account that it will open, set up customized error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions and error logs, choose a server shared IP address or a dedicated one if you have such, plus much more. All hosted domains and the subdomains that you create for them will be conveniently listed in alphabetical order in one location and you are going to be able to access numerous functions for every one of them through right-click context menus - records, files, etc.
Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Hosting
When you buy a semi-dedicated server package, you are going to be able to create as many subdomains as you would like since this feature is unrestricted. Considering that the website hosting packages are rather powerful, we've decided not to put any cap on the amount of subdomains. Our advanced Hepsia Control Panel will permit you to create a new subdomain with no more than a few clicks, to select which folder it will access in the account, to activate FrontPage Extensions for it, to create unique error pages, to set a shared or a dedicated IP address if you have one, and many more. For your convenience, all of the subdomains will be listed under their root domain, allowing you to very easily see and manage them. Through instant access links, you'll also be able to open the website files for each of the subdomains that you have or view its DNS records.
