A subdomain is a web address, that's under a main, or a root domain. One example 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 site and records i.e. apart from using the domain name as a part of the whole web address, a subdomain can be entirely independent and also hosted by a different service provider. Using a subdomain can be very practical if you'd like to have different websites which are associated in some way. For instance, you may have an online store under the main domain plus a forum under a subdomain so as to supply means for your clients to ask questions and share opinions regarding your products. The advantage of employing a subdomain as opposed to a subfolder is that the web sites are going to be separated, so you can update one of them or perform maintenance not affecting the other.

Subdomains in Cloud Web Hosting

If you acquire a cloud web hosting package from our company, you'll be able to create subdomains easily using your Hepsia website hosting Control Panel. We've decided not to limit their amount, so in case you host only one domain in the account, you're going to be able to create as many subdomains as you want and have a different site for each one. During the creation of a subdomain, you are able to select the folder inside the account that it'll open, create custom error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions and error logs, choose a server shared IP address or a dedicated one if you have such, and more. All hosted domains and the subdomains that you create for them are going to be conveniently listed in alphabetical order in one location and you will be able to gain access to numerous functions for every single one of them with right-click context menus - records, files, etc.
