A subdomain is a web address, which is under a main, or a root domain name. An example is something.domain.com, in which domain.com is the main domain name, while "something" is the subdomain below it. Each and every subdomain can have its own website and records i.e. apart from employing the domain name as a part of the whole web address, a subdomain can be completely independent and also hosted by a separate provider. Using a subdomain can be extremely beneficial if you want to have different web sites that are related in some way. As an example, you may have a web-based store under the main domain and a forum under a subdomain so as to provide means for your customers to ask questions or share opinions about your products. The best thing about 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 without affecting the other.
Subdomains in Cloud Hosting
Every cloud hosting plan we offer will allow you to create hundreds of subdomains with no more than a few clicks in your web hosting CP. They're going to be listed in the section where you create them and arranged under the main domain for more convenience, to help you easily keep track of all of them. Furthermore, you can access many functions for any one of the subdomains via right-click context menus - for instance, you can view or change their DNS records, access the site files, and a lot more. While creating a new subdomain, you're also going to have a number of options that you can choose from - define the default access folder, create custom error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions or pick if the subdomain is going to use a shared or a dedicated IP address. How many subdomains you are going to have is 100 % up to you since we have not limited this feature for any of our packages.
Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Hosting
When you buy a semi-dedicated server plan, you'll be able to create as many subdomains as you'd like because this feature is unlimited. For the reason that the hosting plans are rather powerful, we have decided not to put any cap on the amount of subdomains. Our advanced Hepsia CP will allow you to create a new subdomain with no more than a few clicks, to choose which folder it is going to access in the account, to enable FrontPage Extensions for it, to set up unique error pages, to set a shared or a dedicated IP address if you have one, and many more. To make it easier for you, all of the subdomains are going to be listed under their root domain, so that you can very easily see and control them. With quick access links, you will also be able to open the site files for each of the subdomains that you have or see its DNS records.
