A subdomain is a web address, that is 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. Each and 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 totally independent and also hosted by a separate service provider. Using a subdomain can be quite handy if you want to have different web sites which are associated in some way. For example, you may have a web-based store under the main domain and a forum under a subdomain so as to offer means for your clients to ask questions or share views regarding your products. The best thing about employing a subdomain as opposed to a subfolder is that the websites are going to be separated, so you're able to update one of them or perform maintenance not affecting the other.
Subdomains in Hosting
Every hosting plan which we supply will permit you to create numerous subdomains with no more than a couple of mouse clicks within your web hosting CP. They are going to be listed in the area where you create them and grouped under the main domain for more convenience, so that you're able to effortlessly keep track of all of them. Additionally, you can access many functions for any of the subdomains using right-click context menus - as an example, you can view or modify their DNS records, access the site files, plus much more. While setting up a new subdomain, you're also going to have many options that you can select from - determine the default access folder, set customized 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 are going to have is totally up to you since we have not limited this feature for any one of our plans.
Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Hosting
Our Linux semi-dedicated packages don't have a restriction for the amount of subdomains you can create. Adding a new subdomain within the account takes just a couple of mouse clicks within the Hepsia web hosting CP and throughout the process you can pick the folder the subdomain will access if it is going to be different from the default one, set up custom-made error pages, enable FrontPage Extensions if you need them or set a dedicated IP address as opposed to the shared server one if you have added such an upgrade to your semi-dedicated account. Once the subdomain is set up, you'll be able to access logs and visitor statistics or you can quickly jump to the website files for it within the File Manager area using fast access buttons. All subdomains that you've got within the account are going to be conveniently listed under their root domain, so you are going to be able to find and manage every single one of them easily.
