A subdomain is a web address, that is under a main, or a root domain name. An illustration is something.domain.com, in which domain.com is the main domain address, while "something" is the subdomain below it. Every single subdomain can have its own website and records i.e. aside 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 provider. Employing a subdomain can be very beneficial if you wish to have different sites that are associated in some way. For instance, you can have a web-based store under the main domain as well as a forum under a subdomain in order to provide means for your clients to ask questions and / or share opinions concerning 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 not affecting the other.

Subdomains in Cloud Hosting

If you obtain a cloud hosting plan through us, you're going to be able to create subdomains with ease using your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. We've decided not to restrict their number, so even when you host just one domain in the account, you are going to be able to create as many subdomains as you want and have a different site for every one. During the creation of a subdomain, you'll be able to pick the folder inside the account that it will open, set up customized error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions and error logs, pick a server shared IP address or a dedicated one if you have such, and more. All hosted domain addresses and the subdomains that you create for them will be conveniently listed in alphabetical order in one location and you'll be able to gain access to many functions for every one of them with right-click context menus - records, files, etc.

You will be able to create as many subdomains as you want with any one of our semi-dedicated plans since we have not set a maximum limit for this feature.
