A subdomain is a website url, that's under a main, or a root domain name. One example is something.domain.com, where domain.com is the main domain address, while "something" is the subdomain below it. Each and every subdomain can have its own site and records i.e. apart from employing the domain name as part of the whole web address, a subdomain can be fully independent and also hosted by a separate service provider. Using a subdomain can be very beneficial if you wish to have different websites which are associated in some way. For instance, you can have an on-line store under the main domain along with a forum under a subdomain in order to provide means for your customers to ask questions and / or share experiences about your products. The best thing about using a subdomain as opposed to a subfolder is that the websites are going to be separated, so that you can update one of them or perform maintenance without affecting the other.

Subdomains in Cloud Website Hosting

If you buy a cloud website hosting package from our company, you'll be able to create subdomains easily using your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. We've decided not to limit their number, so in case you host just one domain in the account, you're going to be able to create as many subdomains as you would like and have a different site for each one of them. During the creation of a subdomain, you can choose the folder within the account that it's going to open, set up custom error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions and error logs, pick a server shared IP address or a dedicated one if you have such, and much more. All hosted domains and the subdomains that you create for them will be conveniently listed in alphabetical order in one place and you are going to be able to access lots of functions for each one of them with right-click context menus - records, files, etc.
