A subdomain is a website address, that's under a main, or a root domain. An illustration is something.domain.com, where domain.com is the main domain address, while "something" is the subdomain below it. 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 totally independent and even hosted by a different provider. Employing a subdomain can be quite beneficial if you wish to have different web sites which are associated in some way. For example, you could 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 and share views regarding your products. The advantage of employing a subdomain rather than a subfolder is that the sites will be separated, so you can update one of them or perform maintenance not affecting the other.

Subdomains in Shared Website Hosting

Our shared website hosting plans will enable you to create hundreds of subdomains for every domain address hosted in your account without any difficulty. As long as the main domain is added, it will take 2 clicks to create a subdomain and select what folder it'll open (if different from the default one), set custom error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions, set a shared IP address or a dedicated one, and much more. All subdomains will be conveniently listed in alphabetical order under their main domain for effortless access and administration. By right-clicking on any one of them and by using instant access buttons you can see the error logs, visitor statistics or website files for that particular subdomain. We haven't set a restriction for the amount of subdomains that you can create with any of our plans, so you can have as many as you wish.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you buy a semi-dedicated server plan, you'll be able to create as many subdomains as you want since this feature is unrestricted. Considering that the web hosting plans are quite powerful, we have decided not to put any limit on the number of subdomains. Our advanced Hepsia Control Panel will allow you to create a new subdomain with no more than a few mouse clicks, to select which folder it'll access inside 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 more. To make it easier for you, all the subdomains will be listed under their root domain, so that you can very easily see and manage them. Through fast access links, you'll also have the ability to open the website files for any one of the subdomains that you have or see its DNS records.
