A subdomain is a web address, which is under a main, or a root domain. One example is something.domain.com, where 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. apart from employing the domain name as part of the whole web address, a subdomain can be fully independent and also hosted by a different provider. Using a subdomain can be quite practical if you want to have different web sites that are related in some way. For example, you may have an online store under the main domain plus a forum under a subdomain in order to provide means for your clients to ask questions and share thoughts concerning your products. The benefit 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 Cloud Hosting

If you purchase a cloud hosting plan through our company, you will be able to create subdomains easily through your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. We have decided not to limit their amount, so even when you host only 1 domain name in the account, you are going to be able to create as many subdomains as you want and have a different website for every single one. During the creation of a subdomain, you'll be able to pick the folder inside the account that it will open, set up customized error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions and error logs, pick a server shared IP address or a dedicated one if you have such, and more. All hosted domain names and the subdomains you create for them will be conveniently listed in alphabetical order in one spot and you'll be able to gain access to many functions for every single one of them with right-click context menus - records, files, etc.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers

You can create as many subdomains as you want with any of our semi-dedicated servers because we have not set an upper limit for this feature. The Hepsia hosting CP will permit you to add a new subdomain with a few clicks and you will be able to access a variety of advanced features during the process - replace the default access folder, select the IP address the subdomain will use from the shared and dedicated ones which are provided in your account, activate FrontPage Extensions, add an SSL certificate, plus much more. Even if you create a large number of subdomains, you are going to be able to keep track of all of them with ease as they are going to be listed in alphabetical order under their main domain. For every single one of them, you can also access the site files or view logs and usage stats using quick access buttons.
