A subdomain is a website url, that is under a main, or a root domain. One example is something.domain.com, in which domain.com is the main domain address, while "something" is the subdomain below it. Every single subdomain can have its own site 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 separate company. Employing a subdomain can be very beneficial if you'd like to have different web sites that are associated in some way. For example, you can have an on-line store under the main domain plus a forum under a subdomain in order to supply means for your customers to ask questions or share opinions regarding your products. The advantage of 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 without affecting the other.
Subdomains in Shared Web Hosting
Each and every shared web hosting package we provide will allow you to create many subdomains with no more than a few mouse clicks in your website hosting Control Panel. They will all be listed in the area in which you create them and arranged under the main domain for more convenience, so you can very easily keep an eye on them all. Furthermore, you can access a lot of functions for any of the subdomains via right-click context menus - for example, you can view or change their DNS records, access the site files, and more. While creating a new subdomain, you will also have numerous options that you can select from - determine the default access folder, set unique error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions or pick if the subdomain will use a shared or a dedicated IP address. The amount of subdomains you'll have is 100 % up to you as we haven't limited this feature for any one of our packages.

If you get a semi-dedicated server plan, you'll be able to create as many subdomains as you want simply because this feature is unrestricted.

Our state-of-the-art Hepsia CP will permit you to create a new subdomain with no more than a couple of clicks, to select which folder it is going to access in the account, to enable 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. For your convenience, all of the subdomains will be listed under their root domain, so you can very easily see and control them. With instant access links, you'll also have the ability to open the website files for any of the subdomains that you have or check out its DNS records.
