A subdomain is a website url, that's 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. apart from employing the domain name as part of the whole web address, a subdomain can be totally independent and also hosted by a separate company. Employing a subdomain could be very practical if you wish to have different sites which are related in some way. As an example, you can have an on-line store under the main domain plus a forum under a subdomain so as to provide means for your clients to ask questions and share opinions about your products. The advantage of employing a subdomain instead of a subfolder is that the websites will be separated, so you're able to update one of them or perform maintenance without affecting the other.
Subdomains in Shared Website Hosting
Our shared website hosting packages will enable you to create hundreds of subdomains for every domain hosted within your account without any problem. Assuming that the main domain address is added, it takes 2 mouse clicks to set up a subdomain and choose what folder it'll open (if different from the default one), create unique error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions, set a shared IP address or a dedicated one, and a lot more. All subdomains are going to be conveniently listed in alphabetical order under their main domain for effortless access and administration. By right-clicking on any one of them and by using quick access buttons you can see the error logs, visitor statistics or website files for that specific subdomain. We have not set a limit for the total number of subdomains you can create with any of our plans, so you can have as many as you want.
Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Adding a new subdomain within the account takes just a few clicks inside the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel and throughout 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 custom-made error pages, enable FrontPage Extensions if you need them or set a dedicated IP address as opposed to the shared server one if you have added such an upgrade to your semi-dedicated account. As soon as the subdomain is created, you'll be able to access logs and visitor statistics or you can swiftly jump to the website files for it inside the File Manager section using fast access buttons. All subdomains that you've got inside the account are going to be conveniently listed under their root domain, so you will be able to find and control any of them with ease.
