A subdomain is a web address, that is under a main, or a root domain name. One example is something.domain.com, in which domain.com is the main domain address, while "something" is the subdomain below it. Every subdomain can have its own site and records i.e. apart from employing the domain name as part of the whole web address, a subdomain can be entirely independent and even hosted by a different provider. Employing a subdomain can be quite practical if you'd like to have different sites which are related in some way. For example, you may have an online store under the main domain along with a forum under a subdomain in order to provide means for your clients to ask questions and / or share opinions concerning your products. The advantage of using a subdomain instead of a subfolder is that the web sites will be separated, so you can update one of them or perform maintenance without affecting the other.

Subdomains in Hosting

When you use hosting plans you are going to be able to create subdomains with only a couple of mouse clicks in your hosting Control Panel. All of them are going to be listed in one spot along with the domain names hosted in the account and grouped under their own domain in order to make their managing much easier. Regardless of the plan that you pick, you'll be able to create numerous subdomains and set their access folder or set up custom error pages along the way. Additionally, you'll have access to a lot of functions for any of them with only a mouse click, so from the exact same section in which you create them you can access their DNS records, files, visitor statistics, etc. As opposed to other companies, we have not limited the amount of subdomains which you can have even if you host one domain inside the account.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you purchase a semi-dedicated server plan, you're going to be able to create as many subdomains as you want because this feature is unrestricted. Considering that the hosting packages are rather powerful, we've decided not to set any cap on the amount of subdomains. Our sophisticated Hepsia CP will permit you to create a new subdomain with no more than a few clicks, to choose which folder it'll access inside the account, to enable FrontPage Extensions for it, to set up custom error pages, to set a shared or a dedicated IP address if you have one, and much more. To make it easier for you, all subdomains are going to be listed under their root domain, so that you can easily see and handle them. Through quick access links, you'll also have the ability to open the site files for any of the subdomains that you have or check out its DNS records.
