A subdomain is a website url, that is under a main, or a root domain name. An example is something.domain.com, in which domain.com is the main domain, while "something" is the subdomain below it. Every 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 entirely independent and also hosted by a separate company. Employing a subdomain can be quite practical if you want to have different websites which are associated in some way. For example, you can have a web-based store under the main domain along with a forum under a subdomain so as to supply means for your customers to ask questions and share opinions regarding your products. The benefit of employing a subdomain rather than a subfolder is that the websites will be separated, so you're able to update one of them or perform maintenance not affecting the other.

Subdomains in Website Hosting

Our website hosting plans will allow you to set up countless subdomains for every domain name hosted inside your account without any difficulty. As long as the main domain is added, it takes 2 clicks to set up a subdomain and select what folder it'll open (if different from the default one), set customized error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions, set a shared IP address or a dedicated one, and much more. All subdomains will be conveniently listed in alphabetical order under their main domain for easy access and management. By right-clicking on any of them and by using fast access buttons you can see the error logs, visitor statistics or site files for that specific subdomain. We haven't set a restriction for the amount of subdomains you can create with any of our plans, so you can have as many as you want.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you acquire a semi-dedicated server package, you'll be able to create as many subdomains as you would like since this feature is unlimited. Since the website hosting packages are very powerful, we have decided not to put any limit on the number 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's going to access in the account, to enable FrontPage Extensions for it, to create unique error pages, to set a shared or a dedicated IP address if you have one, and much more. To make it easier for you, all the subdomains will be listed under their root domain, so you can easily see and manage them. Through quick access links, you'll also be able to open the site files for any of the subdomains that you have or see its DNS records.
