A subdomain is a website address, that is under a main, or a root domain name. One example is something.domain.com, in which domain.com is the main domain address, while "something" is the subdomain below it. Each and every 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 totally independent and even hosted by a different service provider. Employing a subdomain can be quite useful if you wish to have different sites that are associated in some way. For example, you may have an online store under the main domain along with a forum under a subdomain in order to provide means for your customers to ask questions or share opinions about your products. The benefit of using a subdomain instead of 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 Hosting

If you get a cloud hosting plan through our company, you will be able to create subdomains easily through your Hepsia hosting CP. We have decided not to restrict their amount, so even when you host only 1 domain address in the account, you'll be able to create as many subdomains as you wish and have a different website for every single one of them. During the creation of a subdomain, you'll be able to select the folder inside the account that it'll open, set up personalized error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions and error logs, pick a server shared IP address or a dedicated one if you have such, and a lot more. All hosted domain names and the subdomains you create for them are going to be conveniently listed in alphabetical order in one place and you'll be able to gain access to lots of functions for every one of them through right-click context menus - records, files, etc.
