A subdomain is a website url, that's under a main, or a root domain name. One example is something.domain.com, in which domain.com is the main domain address, while "something" is the subdomain below it. Each and every subdomain can have its own website and records i.e. apart from using the domain name as part of the whole web address, a subdomain can be completely independent and also hosted by a separate provider. Employing a subdomain can be extremely handy if you wish to have different web sites which are connected in some way. For instance, you may have an on-line store under the main domain as well as a forum under a subdomain so as to offer means for your clients to ask questions or share views regarding your products. The best thing about using a subdomain instead of 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 Shared Hosting

Our shared hosting packages will enable you to set up numerous subdomains for any domain hosted in your account without any hassle. Assuming that the main domain is added, it will take two mouse clicks to set up a subdomain and pick what folder it's going to open (if different from the default one), create unique error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions, set a shared IP address or a dedicated one, and a lot more. All subdomains will be conveniently listed in alphabetical order under their main domain for easy access and management. By right-clicking on any of them and by using quick access buttons you can view the error logs, visitor statistics or site files for that specific subdomain. We have not set a limit for the amount of subdomains that you can create with any one of our plans, so you can have as many as you want.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers

Our semi-dedicated plans do not have a restriction for the number of subdomains you can create. Adding a new subdomain within the account takes only a couple of clicks inside the Hepsia hosting CP and in the process you can select the folder the subdomain is going to access if it is going to be different from the default one, set up custom error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions if you need them or create a dedicated IP address instead of the shared server one in case you have added this upgrade to your semi-dedicated account. When the subdomain is created, you'll be able to access logs and visitor statistics or swiftly jump to the site files for it in the File Manager area by using quick access buttons. All subdomains you've got within the account are going to be conveniently listed under their root domain, so you're going to be able to find and control any one of them with ease.
