A subdomain is a website address, which is under a main, or a root domain name. An illustration 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 website 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 company. Using a subdomain can be extremely beneficial if you want to have different websites that are related in some way. For example, you can have a web-based store under the main domain along with a forum under a subdomain so as to supply means for your customers to ask questions or share experiences regarding your products. The best thing about employing a subdomain instead of a subfolder is that the websites will be separated, so that you can update one of them or perform maintenance not affecting the other.

Subdomains in Cloud Website Hosting

When you acquire a cloud website hosting plan from our company, you are going to be able to create subdomains with ease via your Hepsia website hosting Control Panel. We've decided not to restrict their amount, so even when you host only one domain address in the account, you will be able to create as many subdomains as you want and have a different website for each one. During the creation of a subdomain, you are able to select the folder inside the account that it'll open, create personalized error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions and error logs, select 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 will be able to access lots of functions for each one of them with right-click context menus - records, files, etc.
