A subdomain is a website url, that is under a main, or a root domain. One example 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 site and records i.e. aside from using the domain name as part of the whole web address, a subdomain can be entirely independent and also hosted by a different company. Using a subdomain can be quite useful if you wish to have different web sites that are associated in some way. For instance, you may have an online store under the main domain plus a forum under a subdomain so as to supply means for your clients to ask questions and / or share opinions about your products. The main advantage of using a subdomain as opposed to a subfolder is that the web sites are going to be separated, so you're able to update one of them or perform maintenance without affecting the other.

Subdomains in Shared Hosting

With our shared hosting packages you are going to be able to create subdomains with a few mouse clicks in your web hosting Control Panel. All of them will be listed in one place along with the domains hosted in the account and arranged under their own domain so as to make their administration a lot easier. Whatever the plan that you select, you're going to be able to create hundreds of subdomains and set their access folder or create custom error pages in the process. You'll have access to lots of functions for any of them with only a mouse click, so from the exact same section in which you create them you can access their DNS records, files, visitor statistics, etc. Unlike other companies, we have not restricted the amount of subdomains you can have even if you host one domain name in the account.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you get a semi-dedicated server plan, you're going to be able to create as many subdomains as you would like as this feature is unrestricted. For the reason that the hosting packages are quite powerful, we've decided not to put any limit on the amount of subdomains. Our state-of-the-art Hepsia Control Panel will allow you to create a new subdomain with no more than a couple of mouse clicks, to choose which folder it'll access inside 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 many more. For your convenience, all of the subdomains are going to be listed under their root domain, so that you can effortlessly see and manage them. Through quick 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.
