A subdomain is a website address, that's under a main, or a root domain. An example is something.domain.com, where domain.com is the main domain, while "something" is the subdomain below it. Each 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 separate provider. Using a subdomain could be very practical if you want to have different sites that are associated in some way. For instance, you could have an online store under the main domain along with a forum under a subdomain in order to provide means for your clients to ask questions or share thoughts about your products. The advantage of using a subdomain as opposed to a subfolder is that the sites will be separated, so that you can update one of them or perform maintenance without affecting the other.

Subdomains in Website Hosting

Our website hosting plans will permit you to set up many subdomains for any domain hosted inside your account without any hassle. If the main domain name is added, it will take 2 mouse clicks to create a subdomain and pick what folder it's going to open (if different from the default one), set customized error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions, set a shared IP address or a dedicated one, and a lot more. All subdomains will 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 view the error logs, visitor statistics or site files for that particular subdomain. We have not set a limit for the total number of subdomains that you can create with any one of our plans, so you can have as many as you need.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers

When you get a semi-dedicated server plan, you are going to be able to create as many subdomains as you want since this feature is unrestricted. For the reason that the website hosting packages are quite powerful, we have decided not to put any restriction on the amount of subdomains. Our sophisticated Hepsia CP will allow you to create a new subdomain with no more than a couple of mouse clicks, to choose which folder it will access in the account, to activate FrontPage Extensions for it, to set up unique error pages, to set a shared or a dedicated IP address if you have one, and many more. To make it easier for you, all the subdomains will be listed under their root domain, so that you can very easily see and control them. With quick access links, you'll also have the ability to open the website files for any one of the subdomains that you have or check out its DNS records.
