A subdomain is a web address, that's under a main, or a root domain name. An illustration 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 website and records i.e. aside from using the domain name as a part of the whole web address, a subdomain can be completely independent and also hosted by a separate service provider. Employing a subdomain can be extremely handy if you wish to have different web sites which are related in some way. As an example, you may have an online store under the main domain as well as a forum under a subdomain in order to supply means for your customers to ask questions or share opinions regarding your products. The benefit of employing 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 Hosting

When you obtain a hosting plan through our company, you are going to be able to create subdomains with ease via your Hepsia website hosting Control Panel. We've decided not to restrict their amount, so in case you host only 1 domain address in the account, you'll be able to create as many subdomains as you want and have a different website for each one. During the creation of a subdomain, you are able to choose the folder inside the account that it'll open, set up custom 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 domains and the subdomains that you create for them will be conveniently listed in alphabetical order in one spot and you will be able to gain access to a lot of functions for each one of them with right-click context menus - records, files, etc.
