A subdomain is a website address, 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. Each 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 totally independent and even hosted by a different company. Using a subdomain can be quite beneficial if you want to have different web sites that are related in some way. For instance, you may have an online store under the main domain and a forum under a subdomain so as to supply means for your clients to ask questions and share thoughts concerning your products. The main advantage of employing a subdomain as opposed to 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 Hosting
When you purchase a cloud hosting package from our company, you're going to be able to create subdomains easily through your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. We've decided not to restrict their amount, so in case you host only 1 domain in the account, you are going to be able to create as many subdomains as you would like and have a different site for each and every one. During the creation of a subdomain, you'll be able to choose the folder in the account that it'll open, set up custom 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 place and you are going to be able to access a lot of functions for every one of them through right-click context menus - records, files, etc.
