A subdomain is a web address, that's 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. Every subdomain can have its own website and records i.e. aside from using the domain name as a part of the whole web address, a subdomain can be fully independent and also hosted by a different company. Employing a subdomain can be very practical if you wish to have different web sites that are related in some way. As an example, you can 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 / or share thoughts about your products. The advantage of using a subdomain rather than a subfolder is that the web sites will be separated, so that you can update one of them or perform maintenance not affecting the other.
Subdomains in Website Hosting
Each and every website hosting package that we provide will enable you to create many subdomains with no more than a few mouse clicks within your website hosting Control Panel. They're going to be listed in the area where you create them and grouped under the main domain for more convenience, so that you're able to effortlessly keep an eye on every one of them. Additionally, you can access a lot of functions for any one of the subdomains through right-click context menus - for instance, you can view or change their DNS records, access the site files, and much more. While creating a new subdomain, you will also have numerous options that you can choose from - specify the default access folder, create custom error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions or pick if the subdomain is going to use a shared or a dedicated IP address. How many subdomains you will have is completely up to you because we haven't restricted this feature for any one of our packages.
Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers
If you buy a semi-dedicated server plan, you're going to be able to create as many subdomains as you wish as this feature is unrestricted. For the reason that the hosting packages are rather powerful, we have decided not to set any restriction on the number of subdomains. Our state-of-the-art Hepsia Control Panel will enable you to create a new subdomain with no more than a few mouse clicks, to choose which folder it will access in the account, to enable FrontPage Extensions for it, to set up custom error pages, to create a shared or a dedicated IP address if you have one, and many more. To make it easier for you, all of the subdomains will be listed under their root domain, allowing you to effortlessly see and control them. With fast access links, you'll also have the ability to open the website files for any of the subdomains that you have or check out its DNS records.
