A subdomain is a website url, that 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 subdomain can have its own site and records i.e. aside from using the domain name as part of the whole web address, a subdomain can be entirely independent and even hosted by a separate company. Using a subdomain can be extremely beneficial if you want to have different websites which are connected in some way. For instance, you may have a web-based store under the main domain and a forum under a subdomain so as to offer means for your clients to ask questions and / or share views regarding your products. The best thing about 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 not affecting the other.
Subdomains in Cloud Hosting
If you obtain a cloud hosting plan through our company, you will be able to create subdomains effortlessly through your Hepsia website hosting Control Panel. We've decided not to restrict their amount, so in case you host only 1 domain name in the account, you will be able to create as many subdomains as you want and have a different website for every single one of them. During the creation of a subdomain, you can choose the folder within the account that it will open, create customized error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions and error logs, pick a server shared IP address or a dedicated one if you have such, and more. All hosted domain names and the subdomains you create for them are going to be conveniently listed in alphabetical order in one spot and you will be able to gain access to many functions for each one of them with right-click context menus - records, files, etc.
