A subdomain is a website url, which is under a main, or a root domain name. An example is something.domain.com, in which domain.com is the main domain, while "something" is the subdomain below it. Each and every subdomain can have its own site and records i.e. aside from employing the domain name as a part of the whole web address, a subdomain can be completely independent and even hosted by a separate provider. Employing a subdomain can be very useful if you'd like to have different web sites that are associated in some way. For instance, you could have a web-based store under the main domain and a forum under a subdomain so as to provide means for your clients to ask questions and share opinions concerning your products. The advantage of using a subdomain instead of a subfolder is that the sites will be separated, so you can update one of them or perform maintenance without affecting the other.

Subdomains in Cloud Web Hosting

Our cloud web hosting packages will allow you to set up hundreds of subdomains for any domain name hosted within your account without any problem. Provided that the main domain name is added, it requires two mouse clicks to set up a subdomain and pick what folder it's going to open (if different from the default one), set unique error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions, set a shared IP address or a dedicated one, plus much more. All subdomains will 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 quick access buttons you can view the error logs, visitor statistics or site files for that specific subdomain. We haven't set a restriction for the amount of subdomains you can create with any of our plans, so you can have as many as you need.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Our Linux semi-dedicated hosting packages haven't got a limit for the number of subdomains which you can create. Adding a new subdomain within the account takes only a couple of clicks in the Hepsia hosting Control Panel and in the process you can select the folder the subdomain is going to access if it is going to be different from the default one, create customized error pages, enable FrontPage Extensions if you need them or set a dedicated IP address instead of the shared server one in case you have added such an upgrade to your semi-dedicated account. When the subdomain is created, you'll be able to access logs and visitor stats or swiftly jump to the website files for it inside the File Manager area by using fast access buttons. All subdomains that you have within the account will be conveniently listed under their root domain, so you will be able to find and control any one of them easily.
