A subdomain is a web address, that's under a main, or a root domain name. An illustration is something.domain.com, where domain.com is the main domain address, while "something" is the subdomain below it. Each and every subdomain can have its own website and records i.e. apart from employing the domain name as a part of the whole web address, a subdomain can be entirely independent and also hosted by a separate company. Employing a subdomain can be extremely useful if you wish to have different sites that are associated in some way. For example, you may have a web-based store under the main domain plus a forum under a subdomain so as to provide means for your customers to ask questions or share opinions regarding your products. The benefit of using a subdomain as opposed to a subfolder is that the websites are going to be separated, so that you can update one of them or perform maintenance not affecting the other.
Subdomains in Hosting
Every single hosting plan we supply will permit you to create many subdomains with no more than a couple of mouse clicks in your hosting CP. They are going to be listed in the section where you create them and grouped under the main domain for more convenience, so you can very easily monitor them all. Furthermore, you can access many functions for any one of the subdomains via right-click context menus - as an example, you can view or edit their DNS records, access the site files, plus much more. While setting up a new subdomain, you're also going to have a number of options that you can choose from - define the default access folder, set unique error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions or select if the subdomain is going to use a shared or a dedicated IP address. What number of subdomains you'll have is totally up to you as we haven't restricted this feature for any of our packages.
Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Hosting
You’ll be able to create as many subdomains as you would like with any one of our Linux semi-dedicated hosting packages since we have not set a maximum limit for this feature. The Hepsia hosting Control Panel will allow you to add a new subdomain with a few clicks and you will be able to access a variety of advanced features during the process - replace the default access folder, select the IP address the subdomain will use from the shared and dedicated ones which are available in your account, activate FrontPage Extensions, add an SSL certificate, and much more. Even if you set up a huge amount of subdomains, you are going to be able to keep track of all of them with ease since they are going to be listed in alphabetical order under their main domain. For each of them, you can even access the web site files or view logs and usage stats via quick access buttons.
