A subdomain is a website url, which is under a main, or a root domain. An illustration is something.domain.com, where domain.com is the main domain, while "something" is the subdomain below it. Each subdomain can have its own website and records i.e. apart from employing 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. Using a subdomain could be very beneficial if you'd like to have different sites which are connected in some way. For instance, you may have a web-based store under the main domain along with a forum under a subdomain so as to supply means for your clients to ask questions and share opinions concerning your products. The benefit of using a subdomain rather than a subfolder is that the sites are going to be separated, so you can update one of them or perform maintenance without affecting the other.

Subdomains in Shared Website Hosting

If you buy a shared website hosting plan through our company, you will be able to create subdomains with ease using your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. We have decided not to restrict their amount, so even when you host only 1 domain name in the account, you're going to be able to create as many subdomains as you wish and have a different site for each one of them. During the creation of a subdomain, you'll be able to select the folder in the account that it'll open, create personalized error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions and error logs, choose 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 location and you are going to be able to gain access to many functions for every single one of them through right-click context menus - records, files, etc.
