A subdomain is a website address, that is 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 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 fully independent and even hosted by a different service provider. Using a subdomain can be quite beneficial if you'd like to have different web sites that are connected in some way. For instance, you could have a web-based store under the main domain and a forum under a subdomain in order to supply means for your clients to ask questions and share views concerning your products. The advantage of using a subdomain instead of a subfolder is that the web sites are going to be separated, so that you can update one of them or perform maintenance not affecting the other.

Subdomains in Shared Hosting

Using our shared hosting plans you are going to be able to create subdomains with a few clicks in your web hosting Control Panel. All of them will be listed in a single place along with the domain addresses hosted in the account and grouped under their own domain to help make their administration easier. Whatever the plan that you pick, you'll be able to create numerous subdomains and set their access folder or create custom error pages in the process. You'll have access to a lot of functions for any of them with only a mouse click, so from the same section in which you create them you can access their DNS records, files, visitor statistics, etc. As opposed to other providers, we have not limited the amount of subdomains which you can have even if you host just one domain inside the account.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Adding a new subdomain in the account takes only a couple of clicks inside the Hepsia web hosting CP and throughout the process you can pick the folder the subdomain is going to access if it will be different from the default one, create tailor-made error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions if you need them or set a dedicated IP address instead of the shared server one in case you have added this upgrade to your semi-dedicated account. When the subdomain is set up, you will be able to access logs and visitor statistics or easily jump to the website files for it inside the File Manager area through instant access buttons. All subdomains you've got within the account are going to be conveniently listed under their root domain, so you'll be able to find and handle any of them easily.
