A subdomain is a web address, that is under a main, or a root domain. An illustration is something.domain.com, where domain.com is the main domain name, while "something" is the subdomain below it. Each 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 completely independent and also hosted by a different service provider. Employing a subdomain can be very handy if you'd like to have different sites that are connected in some way. For instance, you could have a web-based store under the main domain plus a forum under a subdomain in order to offer means for your customers to ask questions and share views about your products. The main advantage of employing a subdomain rather than a subfolder is that the sites will be separated, so you're able to update one of them or perform maintenance without affecting the other.
Subdomains in Shared Website Hosting
When you obtain a shared website hosting package from our company, you will be able to create subdomains effortlessly using your Hepsia website hosting Control Panel. We have decided not to restrict their amount, so even when you host only 1 domain name in the account, you are going to be able to create as many subdomains as you would like and have a different website for each and every one. During the creation of a subdomain, you'll be able to select the folder within the account that it will open, create custom 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 you create for them are going to be conveniently listed in alphabetical order in one location and you'll be able to access many functions for every one of them through right-click context menus - records, files, etc.
