A subdomain is a website address, that's under a main, or a root domain. An illustration is something.domain.com, where domain.com is the main domain, while "something" is the subdomain below it. Each and every subdomain can have its own website and records i.e. aside from employing the domain name as part of the whole web address, a subdomain can be totally independent and even hosted by a separate company. Employing a subdomain can be extremely useful if you want to have different websites which are related in some way. For instance, you can have an on-line store under the main domain along with a forum under a subdomain in order to offer means for your customers to ask questions and share opinions regarding your products. The advantage of employing a subdomain as opposed to a subfolder is that the websites will be separated, so you are able to update one of them or perform maintenance without affecting the other.

Subdomains in Cloud Hosting

Our cloud hosting plans will allow you to set up numerous subdomains for any domain hosted in your account without any difficulty. As long as the main domain address is added, it takes two clicks to set up a subdomain and select what folder it will open (if different from the default one), set unique error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions, set a shared IP address or a dedicated one, and a lot more. All subdomains are going to be conveniently listed in alphabetical order under their main domain for convenient access and management. By right-clicking on any of them and by using fast access buttons you can view the error logs, visitor statistics or site files for that particular subdomain. We haven't set a limit for the total number of subdomains you can create with any of our plans, so you can have as many as you need.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Hosting

When you buy a semi-dedicated server plan, you are going to be able to create as many subdomains as you wish simply because this feature is unrestricted. Since the web hosting packages are rather powerful, we have decided not to put any limit on the amount of subdomains. Our state-of-the-art Hepsia Control Panel will enable you to create a new subdomain with no more than a few mouse clicks, to pick which folder it'll access in the account, to activate FrontPage Extensions for it, to set up unique error pages, to create a shared or a dedicated IP address if you have one, and much more. To make it easier for you, all the subdomains are going to be listed under their root domain, so you can easily see and control them. Using instant access links, you'll be able to open the site files for each of the subdomains that you have or see its DNS records.
