A subdomain is a website url, which is under a main, or a root domain name. An illustration 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 website and records i.e. aside from employing the domain name as part of the whole web address, a subdomain can be completely independent and also hosted by a separate provider. Using a subdomain can be quite practical if you'd like to have different web sites which are related in some way. As an example, you may have an on-line store under the main domain plus a forum under a subdomain so as to provide means for your customers to ask questions and / or share views about your products. The benefit of using a subdomain as opposed to a subfolder is that the web sites are going to be separated, so that you can update one of them or perform maintenance without affecting the other.
Subdomains in Shared Hosting
Through our shared hosting plans you'll be able to create subdomains with a couple of clicks in your web hosting Control Panel. All of them will be listed in one location together with the domain names hosted in the account and grouped under their own domain in order to make their management much easier. No matter the plan that you choose, you'll be able to create numerous subdomains and set their access folder or set up custom error pages in the process. You'll have access to a lot of functions for any of them with only a click, so from the same section where you create them you can access their DNS records, files, visitor statistics, etc. As opposed to other companies, we have not restricted the amount of subdomains which you can have even if you host just one domain address inside the account.
Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers
If you buy a semi-dedicated server package, you're going to be able to create as many subdomains as you want as this feature is unrestricted. Since the website hosting packages are quite powerful, we have decided not to put any limit 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 inside the account, to enable FrontPage Extensions for it, to create unique error pages, to set 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 easily see and control them. With fast access links, you will also have the ability to open the website files for any one of the subdomains that you have or see its DNS records.
