A subdomain is a website address, that's under a main, or a root domain name. An example is something.domain.com, where domain.com is the main domain address, while "something" is the subdomain below it. Each subdomain can have its own website and records i.e. aside from using the domain name as part of the whole web address, a subdomain can be entirely independent and also hosted by a separate service provider. Using a subdomain could be very useful if you wish to have different sites which are connected in some way. For instance, you can have an online store under the main domain and a forum under a subdomain in order to offer means for your clients to ask questions and share thoughts regarding your products. The best thing about using a subdomain rather than a subfolder is that the sites will be separated, so that you can update one of them or perform maintenance without affecting the other.
Subdomains in Cloud Website Hosting
When you buy a cloud website hosting package from us, you're going to be able to create subdomains effortlessly using your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. We've decided not to limit their number, so in case you host just one domain in the account, you'll be able to create as many subdomains as you wish and have a different website for each and every one. During the creation of a subdomain, you'll be able to choose the folder in the account that it's going to 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 addresses and the subdomains that you create for them are going to be conveniently listed in alphabetical order in one spot and you will be able to access lots of functions for each one of them with right-click context menus - records, files, etc.
