A subdomain is a website url, that is under a main, or a root domain name. One example is something.domain.com, where 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. aside from using the domain name as part of the whole web address, a subdomain can be completely independent and even hosted by a separate company. Using a subdomain could be very handy if you'd like to have different websites that are associated in some way. As an example, you can have a web-based store under the main domain plus a forum under a subdomain so as to provide means for your clients to ask questions or share thoughts about your products. The advantage of employing a subdomain rather than a subfolder is that the web sites are going to be separated, so you are able to update one of them or perform maintenance without affecting the other.

Subdomains in Cloud Website Hosting

When you buy a cloud website hosting plan through our company, you'll be able to create subdomains with ease via your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. We have decided not to restrict their amount, so even if you host only one domain name in the account, you are going to be able to create as many subdomains as you wish and have a different website for each one of them. During the creation of a subdomain, you can select the folder inside the account that it will open, create customized error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions and error logs, pick a server shared IP address or a dedicated one if you have such, plus much more. All hosted domains and the subdomains that you create for them are going to be conveniently listed in alphabetical order in one spot and you are going to be able to gain access to a lot of functions for each one of them with right-click context menus - records, files, etc.
