A subdomain is a website url, that's under a main, or a root domain. One example is something.domain.com, in which domain.com is the main domain address, while "something" is the subdomain below it. Every subdomain can have its own website and records i.e. apart from using the domain name as a part of the whole web address, a subdomain can be entirely independent and also hosted by a separate provider. Using a subdomain can be quite handy if you'd like to have different sites which are related in some way. For instance, you could have an online store under the main domain as well as a forum under a subdomain in order to supply means for your customers to ask questions or share views regarding your products. The benefit of employing a subdomain as opposed to a subfolder is that the web sites will be separated, so you can update one of them or perform maintenance without affecting the other.
Subdomains in Shared Website Hosting
Every single shared website hosting plan we provide will allow you to create hundreds of subdomains with no more than a couple of clicks within your website hosting Control Panel. They're going to be listed in the section in which you create them and arranged under the main domain for more convenience, so that you can easily monitor them all. Furthermore, you can access a lot of functions for any one of the subdomains using right-click context menus - for example, you can view or edit their DNS records, access the site files, and much more. While setting up a new subdomain, you'll also have numerous options that you can pick from - define the default access folder, create customized error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions or choose if the subdomain is going to use a shared or a dedicated IP address. How many subdomains you'll have is entirely up to you since we haven't restricted this feature for any one of our plans.
Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Hosting
Our Linux semi-dedicated hosting do not have a restriction for the number of subdomains you can create. Adding a new subdomain within the account takes only a few clicks in the Hepsia hosting CP and throughout the process you can pick the folder the subdomain is going to access if it will be different from the default one, create customized error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions if you need them or set a dedicated IP address rather than the shared server one if you have added such an upgrade to your semi-dedicated account. Once the subdomain is set up, you can access logs and visitor statistics or you can quickly jump to the site files for it inside the File Manager section using quick access buttons. All subdomains you've got within the account will be conveniently listed under their root domain, so you're going to be able to find and manage any one of them with ease.
