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. Every single subdomain can have its own website and records i.e. aside from using the domain name as a part of the whole web address, a subdomain can be totally independent and even hosted by a separate company. Using a subdomain can be very useful if you want to have different web sites that are connected in some way. As an example, you could have a web-based store under the main domain and a forum under a subdomain so as to supply means for your customers to ask questions and / or share views regarding your products. The advantage of employing a subdomain rather than a subfolder is that the sites are going to be separated, so you are able to update one of them or perform maintenance not affecting the other.

Subdomains in Web Hosting

If you obtain a web hosting package through our company, you are going to be able to create subdomains with ease via your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. We have decided not to restrict their number, so even if you host just one domain address in the account, you'll be able to create as many subdomains as you would like and have a different website for each one of them. During the creation of a subdomain, you'll be able to pick the folder inside the account that it'll open, set up personalized error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions and error logs, select a server shared IP address or a dedicated one if you have such, and a lot more. All hosted domain addresses and the subdomains that 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 every one of them with right-click context menus - records, files, etc.
