A subdomain is a website address, that is under a main, or a root domain. An example is something.domain.com, in which domain.com is the main domain name, while "something" is the subdomain below it. Each 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 even hosted by a separate service provider. Using a subdomain can be quite beneficial if you wish to have different websites that are associated in some way. As an example, you can have an on-line store under the main domain and a forum under a subdomain in order to provide means for your customers to ask questions and share experiences about your products. The advantage of using a subdomain rather than a subfolder is that the web sites will be separated, so you are able to update one of them or perform maintenance not affecting the other.

Subdomains in Hosting

With our hosting plans you will be able to create subdomains with just a few clicks in your hosting Control Panel. All of them will be listed in a single location along with the domain addresses hosted in the account and grouped under their own domain to help make their administration easier. Whatever the plan that you choose, you will be able to create hundreds of 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 mouse click, so from the exact same section in which you create them you can access their DNS records, files, visitor statistics, etc. Unlike other companies, we haven't limited the amount of subdomains that you can have even if you host just one domain address within the account.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers

When you acquire a semi-dedicated server plan, you'll be able to create as many subdomains as you'd like as this feature is unrestricted. For the reason that the hosting plans are very powerful, we have decided not to put any limit on the number of subdomains. Our sophisticated Hepsia CP will permit you to create a new subdomain with no more than a few clicks, to select which folder it will access within the account, to activate FrontPage Extensions for it, to set up unique error pages, to create a shared or a dedicated IP address if you have one, and a lot more. For your convenience, all the subdomains will be listed under their root domain, so that you can easily see and handle them. With quick access links, you will also have the ability to open the site files for any one of the subdomains that you have or check out its DNS records.
