A subdomain is a web address, that is under a main, or a root domain name. An example 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 using the domain name as part of the whole web address, a subdomain can be completely independent and also hosted by a different provider. Employing a subdomain could be very practical if you wish to have different sites that are related in some way. For instance, you may have an on-line store under the main domain as well as a forum under a subdomain in order to offer means for your clients to ask questions and share opinions about your products. The advantage of using a subdomain rather than a subfolder is that the sites will be separated, so you can update one of them or perform maintenance not affecting the other.
Subdomains in Cloud Hosting
Our cloud hosting packages will permit you to set up many subdomains for every domain hosted inside your account without any difficulty. Provided that the main domain address is added, it takes 2 mouse clicks to set up a subdomain and choose what folder it's going to open (if different from the default one), create customized error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions, set a shared IP address or a dedicated one, and 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 one of them and by using fast access buttons you can view the error logs, visitor statistics or website files for that particular subdomain. We haven't set a limit for the total amount of subdomains which you can create with any one of our plans, so you can have as many as you wish.
Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers
Our semi-dedicated hosting plans haven't got a restriction for the amount of subdomains which you can create. Adding a new subdomain within the account takes just a couple of mouse clicks inside the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel and during the process you can select the folder the subdomain is going to access if it is going to be different from the default one, set up tailor-made error pages, enable FrontPage Extensions if you need them or set a dedicated IP address as opposed to the shared server one provided you have added such an upgrade to your semi-dedicated account. As soon as the subdomain is set up, you can access logs and visitor stats or easily jump to the website files for it within the File Manager section by using instant access buttons. All subdomains you have within the account are going to be conveniently listed under their root domain, so you're going to be able to find and handle every single one of them easily.
