A subdomain is a website url, which is under a main, or a root domain. One example is something.domain.com, where domain.com is the main domain, while "something" is the subdomain below it. Every single subdomain can have its own website and records i.e. apart from using the domain name as part of the whole web address, a subdomain can be completely independent and even hosted by a different company. Using a subdomain can be quite handy if you want to have different web sites that are related in some way. For example, you could have a web-based store under the main domain plus a forum under a subdomain so as to offer means for your clients to ask questions and / or share views about your products. The advantage of employing a subdomain instead of 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 Semi-dedicated Servers

Our Linux semi-dedicated servers do not have a restriction for the amount of subdomains you can create. Adding a new subdomain in the account takes just a few clicks inside the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel and in the process you can pick the folder the subdomain is going to access if it will be different from the default one, set up tailor-made error pages, enable FrontPage Extensions if you need them or create a dedicated IP address as opposed to the shared server one provided you have added this upgrade to your semi-dedicated account. When the subdomain is created, you'll be able to access logs and visitor stats or swiftly jump to the website files for it within the File Manager section by using instant access buttons. All subdomains that you've got in the account will be conveniently listed under their root domain, so you are going to be able to find and control any one of them with ease.
