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 name, while "something" is the subdomain below it. Every single subdomain can have its own site and records i.e. apart from employing the domain name as a part of the whole web address, a subdomain can be totally independent and also hosted by a different company. Employing a subdomain can be quite practical if you wish to have different web sites that are related in some way. For example, you may have a web-based store under the main domain plus a forum under a subdomain in order to supply means for your clients to ask questions and share views about your products. The benefit of using a subdomain as opposed to a subfolder is that the websites will be separated, so you're able to update one of them or perform maintenance not affecting the other.
Subdomains in Hosting
Each and every hosting package we supply will allow you to create numerous subdomains with no more than a couple of clicks inside your website hosting Control Panel. They'll all be listed in the area in which you create them and arranged under the main domain for more convenience, to help you easily keep an eye on all of them. Furthermore, you can access many functions for any of the subdomains via right-click context menus - for example, you can view or change their DNS records, access the website files, and much more. While setting up a new subdomain, you will also have many options that you can select from - determine the default access folder, create customized error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions or select if the subdomain is going to use a shared or a dedicated IP address. The number of subdomains you are going to have is completely up to you as we haven't restricted this feature for any one of our packages.
Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Hosting
You are able to create as many subdomains as you would like with any of our Linux semi-dedicated packages as we haven't set a maximum limit for this feature. The Hepsia web hosting Control Panel will allow you to add a new subdomain with just a few clicks and you are going to be able to access a number of advanced features during the process - change the default access folder, pick 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 create a large number of subdomains, you're going to be able to keep track of all of them with ease since they are going to be listed in alphabetical order below their main domain. For each of them, you can also access the web site files or view logs and usage stats using instant access buttons.
