A subdomain is a web address, that is under a main, or a root domain name. An example is something.domain.com, where domain.com is the main domain name, while "something" is the subdomain below it. Every single subdomain can have its own site and records i.e. apart from using the domain name as part of the whole web address, a subdomain can be fully independent and also hosted by a different service provider. Using a subdomain can be quite useful if you wish to have different web sites which are related in some way. For example, you could have an online store under the main domain plus a forum under a subdomain in order to provide means for your customers to ask questions and share views about your products. The main advantage of using a subdomain rather than a subfolder is that the websites will be separated, so you are able to update one of them or perform maintenance not affecting the other.

Subdomains in Cloud Hosting

If you acquire a cloud hosting plan through us, you are going to be able to create subdomains easily using your Hepsia website hosting CP. We've decided not to limit their number, so even if you host just one domain name in the account, you'll be able to create as many subdomains as you wish and have a different site for each and every one. During the creation of a subdomain, you are able to select the folder in the account that it will open, create customized error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions and error logs, select a server shared IP address or a dedicated one if you have such, plus 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'll be able to gain access to a lot of functions for each one of them with right-click context menus - records, files, etc.
