A subdomain is a website address, which is under a main, or a root domain. One example is something.domain.com, in which domain.com is the main domain name, while "something" is the subdomain below it. Each subdomain can have its own site and records i.e. apart from employing the domain name as a part of the whole web address, a subdomain can be totally independent and even hosted by a separate company. Employing a subdomain can be extremely handy if you want to have different web sites which are associated in some way. For instance, you could have an on-line store under the main domain along with a forum under a subdomain so as to supply means for your clients to ask questions and share opinions regarding your products. The advantage of using a subdomain instead of a subfolder is that the web sites are going to be separated, so that you can update one of them or perform maintenance without affecting the other.

Subdomains in Hosting

If you buy a hosting package through our company, you are going to be able to create subdomains easily using your Hepsia hosting CP. We have decided not to restrict their number, so in case you host just one domain in the account, you're going to be able to create as many subdomains as you wish and have a different website for each and every one of them. During the creation of a subdomain, you can pick the folder within the account that it's going to open, set up custom error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions and error logs, choose a server shared IP address or a dedicated one if you have such, plus much more. All hosted domains and the subdomains you create for them are going to be conveniently listed in alphabetical order in one location and you are going to be able to access numerous functions for each one of them through right-click context menus - records, files, etc.
