A subdomain is a website address, that is under a main, or a root domain name. An example is something.domain.com, where domain.com is the main domain, while "something" is the subdomain below it. Each and every subdomain can have its own site and records i.e. aside from using the domain name as a part of the whole web address, a subdomain can be totally independent and even hosted by a different company. Employing a subdomain can be very practical if you'd like to have different websites which are connected in some way. As an example, you could have an online store under the main domain and a forum under a subdomain so as to supply means for your customers to ask questions and / or share thoughts concerning your products. The advantage of employing a subdomain rather than a subfolder is that the websites are going to be separated, so that you can update one of them or perform maintenance not affecting the other.

Subdomains in Cloud Hosting

When you buy a cloud hosting package from our company, you're going to be able to create subdomains with ease using your Hepsia hosting CP. We have decided not to restrict their amount, so in case you host only one domain address in the account, you're going to be able to create as many subdomains as you want and have a different site for every single one. During the creation of a subdomain, you can select the folder inside the account that it will open, create custom error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions and error logs, choose a server shared IP address or a dedicated one if you have such, and much more. All hosted domain addresses 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 every single one of them with right-click context menus - records, files, etc.
