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 single subdomain can have its own website and records i.e. aside from employing the domain name as a part of the whole web address, a subdomain can be completely independent and also hosted by a separate provider. Employing a subdomain can be extremely beneficial if you want to have different sites that are related in some way. As an example, you could have an online store under the main domain as well as a forum under a subdomain in order to offer 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're able to update one of them or perform maintenance without affecting the other.

Subdomains in Cloud Hosting

Our cloud hosting packages will enable you to set up countless subdomains for any domain hosted in your account without any hassle. Assuming that the main domain address is added, it requires 2 clicks to create a subdomain and choose what folder it's going to open (if different from the default one), create custom error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions, set a shared IP address or a dedicated one, and much more. All subdomains are going to be conveniently listed in alphabetical order under their main domain for quick access and control. By right-clicking on any one of them and by using quick access buttons you can see the error logs, visitor statistics or site files for that specific subdomain. We have not set a restriction for the total number of subdomains which you can create with any one of our plans, so you can have as many as you need.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you acquire a semi-dedicated server plan, you're going to be able to create as many subdomains as you'd like simply because this feature is unrestricted. For the reason that the hosting plans are quite powerful, we've decided not to set any restriction on the number of subdomains. Our state-of-the-art Hepsia CP will permit you to create a new subdomain with no more than a few mouse clicks, to choose which folder it'll access in the account, to activate FrontPage Extensions for it, to create 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 easily see and control them. Using quick access links, you will also have the ability to open the site files for each of the subdomains that you have or view its DNS records.
