A subdomain is a website address, that's under a main, or a root domain. An illustration is something.domain.com, in which domain.com is the main domain address, while "something" is the subdomain below it. Each subdomain can have its own site and records i.e. aside from using the domain name as part of the whole web address, a subdomain can be entirely independent and even hosted by a different company. Employing a subdomain can be quite useful if you'd like to have different websites which are related in some way. For example, you can have an online store under the main domain as well as a forum under a subdomain in order to provide means for your customers to ask questions and / or share opinions about your products. The main advantage of employing a subdomain instead of a subfolder is that the sites will be separated, so you're able to update one of them or perform maintenance not affecting the other.
Subdomains in Shared Hosting
When you obtain a shared hosting package from us, you're going to be able to create subdomains with ease through your Hepsia hosting CP. We've decided not to limit their amount, so in case you host only one domain in the account, you're going to be able to create as many subdomains as you wish and have a different website for every single one of them. During the creation of a subdomain, you can pick the folder inside the account that it'll open, create custom error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions and error logs, select a server shared IP address or a dedicated one if you have such, and much more. All hosted domains and the subdomains you create for them are going to be conveniently listed in alphabetical order in one location and you are going to be able to gain access to lots of functions for every single one of them with right-click context menus - records, files, etc.
Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers
You’re able to create as many subdomains as you would like with any one of our Linux semi-dedicated service since we have not set an upper limit for this feature. The Hepsia web hosting Control Panel will allow you to add a new subdomain with a few clicks and you'll be able to access a variety of advanced features during the process - change the default access folder, choose the IP address the subdomain will use from the shared and dedicated ones that are provided in your account, activate FrontPage Extensions, add an SSL certificate, and a lot more. Even if you create a large number of subdomains, you will be able to keep track of all of them with ease since they will be listed in alphabetical order below their main domain. For any one of them, you are able to access the site files or check out logs and usage statistics via quick access buttons.
