A subdomain is a website url, which 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. Each 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 entirely independent and also hosted by a separate company. Using a subdomain could be very practical if you'd like to have different sites which are associated in some way. For instance, you may have an on-line store under the main domain along with a forum under a subdomain in order to provide means for your customers to ask questions and share experiences regarding your products. The advantage of employing a subdomain instead of a subfolder is that the websites will be separated, so you are able to update one of them or perform maintenance without affecting the other.

Subdomains in Shared Website Hosting

If you buy a shared website hosting plan through our company, you will be able to create subdomains easily through your Hepsia hosting CP. We've decided not to limit their amount, so even if you host only one domain name in the account, you'll be able to create as many subdomains as you would like and have a different website for each and every one. During the creation of a subdomain, you are able to pick the folder in the account that it will open, create personalized error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions and error logs, select a server shared IP address or a dedicated one if you have such, and more. All hosted domain names and the subdomains you create for them are going to be conveniently listed in alphabetical order in one location and you'll be able to gain access to many functions for every one of them with right-click context menus - records, files, etc.
