A subdomain is a website url, that's under a main, or a root domain name. One example is something.domain.com, in which domain.com is the main domain address, while "something" is the subdomain below it. Every single subdomain can have its own website and records i.e. aside from using the domain name as part of the whole web address, a subdomain can be entirely independent and also hosted by a separate service provider. Using a subdomain can be quite practical if you'd like to have different websites that are associated in some way. For instance, you may have a web-based store under the main domain along with a forum under a subdomain in order to provide means for your clients to ask questions and / or share thoughts regarding your products. The best thing about using a subdomain rather than a subfolder is that the sites will be separated, so you are able to update one of them or perform maintenance not affecting the other.
Subdomains in Shared Hosting
Every shared hosting package that we offer will allow you to create hundreds of subdomains with no more than a few clicks in your website hosting Control Panel. They are going to be listed in the area where you create them and arranged under the main domain for more convenience, so that you're able to effortlessly keep an eye on them all. Additionally, you can access lots of functions for any one of the subdomains through right-click context menus - for instance, you can view or edit their DNS records, access the website files, and a lot more. While setting up a new subdomain, you're also going to have numerous options that you can choose from - specify the default access folder, set unique error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions or choose if the subdomain is going to use a shared or a dedicated IP address. The amount of subdomains you will have is completely up to you since we have not restricted this feature for any of our packages.
Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers
If you acquire a semi-dedicated server package, you will be able to create as many subdomains as you wish simply because this feature is unrestricted. For the reason that the website hosting plans are very powerful, we have decided not to put any limit on the number of subdomains. Our sophisticated Hepsia Control Panel will enable you to create a new subdomain with no more than a couple of mouse clicks, to select which folder it'll access inside the account, to enable FrontPage Extensions for it, to set up custom error pages, to set a shared or a dedicated IP address if you have one, and many more. For your convenience, all subdomains will be listed under their root domain, so that you can effortlessly see and handle them. With instant access links, you'll be able to open the site files for any of the subdomains that you have or see its DNS records.
