A subdomain is a web address, which is under a main, or a root domain name. One example is something.domain.com, where domain.com is the main domain address, while "something" is the subdomain below it. Every single subdomain can have its own site and records i.e. apart from employing the domain name as a part of the whole web address, a subdomain can be totally independent and even hosted by a separate provider. Using a subdomain can be extremely practical if you wish to have different sites that are related in some way. As an example, you may have a web-based store under the main domain along with a forum under a subdomain so as to provide means for your clients to ask questions and share experiences about your products. The benefit of employing a subdomain instead of a subfolder is that the websites will be separated, so you are able to update one of them or perform maintenance not affecting the other.
Subdomains in Shared Hosting

Additionally, you will have access to lots of functions for any of them with just a click, so from the same section where you create them you can access their DNS records, files, visitor statistics, etc. Unlike other providers, we have not limited the amount of subdomains you can have even if you host only one domain address in the account.
Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Hosting
Our Linux semi-dedicated hosting packages haven't got a limit for the amount of subdomains which you can create. Adding a new subdomain in the account takes only a couple of mouse clicks in the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel and throughout the process you can choose the folder the subdomain will access if it is going to 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 instead of the shared server one in case you have added such an upgrade to your semi-dedicated account. When the subdomain is set up, you can access logs and visitor statistics or you can quickly jump to the website files for it within the File Manager section by using instant access buttons. All subdomains that you have inside the account will be conveniently listed under their root domain, so you're going to be able to find and manage every single one of them easily.
