A subdomain is a web address, that's under a main, or a root domain. An example is something.domain.com, in which domain.com is the main domain, while "something" is the subdomain below it. Each and every subdomain can have its own site and records i.e. aside from employing the domain name as a part of the whole web address, a subdomain can be totally independent and even hosted by a different service provider. Using a subdomain can be very beneficial if you'd like to have different websites that are associated in some way. For instance, you could have a web-based store under the main domain along with a forum under a subdomain so as to offer means for your clients to ask questions or share thoughts concerning your products. The main advantage of using a subdomain instead of a subfolder is that the websites will be separated, so that you can update one of them or perform maintenance without affecting the other.
Subdomains in Cloud Website Hosting
Every cloud website hosting plan we offer will permit you to create many subdomains with no more than a few clicks within your website hosting CP. They'll all be listed in the section in which you create them and grouped under the main domain for more convenience, to help you very easily monitor them all. In addition, you can access many functions for any of the subdomains through right-click context menus - for instance, you can view or change their DNS records, access the website files, and a lot more. While creating a new subdomain, you are also going to have many options that you can select from - determine the default access folder, set custom error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions or select if the subdomain is going to use a shared or a dedicated IP address. How many subdomains you are going to have is entirely up to you since we have not limited this feature for any one of our plans.
Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Hosting
You will be able to create as many subdomains as you wish with any one of our Linux semi-dedicated hosting since we have not set a maximum limit for this feature. The Hepsia website hosting Control Panel will enable you to add a new subdomain with a few clicks and you will be able to access a number of advanced features during the process - change the default access folder, select the IP address the subdomain will use from the shared and dedicated ones which are provided in your account, activate FrontPage Extensions, add an SSL certificate, plus much more. Even if you create a huge amount of subdomains, you'll be able to keep track of all of them with ease because they will be listed in alphabetical order below their main domain. For any of them, you can even access the site files or check out logs and usage stats through fast access buttons.
