A subdomain is a website address, that is under a main, or a root domain. An example is something.domain.com, where domain.com is the main domain, while "something" is the subdomain below it. Every subdomain can have its own site and records i.e. aside from using the domain name as a part of the whole web address, a subdomain can be entirely independent and even hosted by a different service provider. 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 could have an on-line store under the main domain plus a forum under a subdomain in order to offer means for your clients to ask questions and / or share thoughts regarding your products. The best thing about employing a subdomain as opposed to a subfolder is that the sites will be separated, so you're able to update one of them or perform maintenance without affecting the other.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you purchase a semi-dedicated server plan, you are going to be able to create as many subdomains as you want as this feature is unlimited. For the reason that the website hosting plans are quite powerful, we have decided not to put any restriction on the amount of subdomains. Our advanced Hepsia CP will allow you to create a new subdomain with no more than a few mouse clicks, to pick which folder it will access in the account, to enable FrontPage Extensions for it, to set up unique error pages, to create a shared or a dedicated IP address if you have one, and more. For your convenience, all subdomains will be listed under their root domain, allowing you to easily see and control them. Using instant access links, you'll also have the ability to open the site files for any one of the subdomains that you have or see its DNS records.
