A subdomain is a website address, that's under a main, or a root domain. An example is something.domain.com, where domain.com is the main domain name, while "something" is the subdomain below it. Every 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 separate company. Using a subdomain can be very practical if you'd like to have different sites that are related in some way. As an example, you may 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 / or share views about your products. The advantage of using a subdomain instead of a subfolder is that the web sites will be separated, so you're able to update one of them or perform maintenance not affecting the other.
Subdomains in Cloud Web Hosting
Every cloud web hosting package which we supply will enable you to create numerous subdomains with no more than a couple of clicks in your hosting CP. They will all be listed in the area in which you create them and grouped under the main domain for more convenience, so that you're able to easily keep an eye on them all. In addition, you can access a lot of functions for any one of the subdomains through right-click context menus - for instance, you can view or edit their DNS records, access the site files, and much more. While setting up a new subdomain, you're also going to have a number of options that you can choose from - specify the default access folder, create custom error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions or pick if the subdomain is going to use a shared or a dedicated IP address. The number of subdomains you are going to have is 100 % up to you since we haven't limited this feature for any one of our packages.
Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Hosting
When you purchase a semi-dedicated server plan, you will be able to create as many subdomains as you wish simply because this feature is unlimited.

Our advanced Hepsia CP will permit you to create a new subdomain with no more than a few mouse clicks, to pick which folder it is going to access within the account, to enable FrontPage Extensions for it, to set up unique error pages, to create a shared or a dedicated IP address if you have one, and much more. For your convenience, all of the subdomains are going to be listed under their root domain, allowing you to easily see and manage them. With instant access links, you will also be able to open the site files for each of the subdomains that you have or check out its DNS records.
