A subdomain is a web address, that is under a main, or a root domain. An illustration is something.domain.com, in which 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. aside from using the domain name as a part of the whole web address, a subdomain can be fully independent and even hosted by a separate service provider. Employing a subdomain can be very handy if you want to have different websites which are associated in some way. For example, you may have a web-based store under the main domain and a forum under a subdomain so as to supply means for your customers to ask questions and share thoughts regarding your products. The advantage of employing a subdomain rather than a subfolder is that the websites are going to be separated, so you're able to update one of them or perform maintenance without affecting the other.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Hosting
When you purchase a semi-dedicated server package, you're going to be able to create as many subdomains as you want because this feature is unrestricted. Since the web hosting packages are rather powerful, we have decided not to put any limit on the amount of subdomains. Our innovative Hepsia Control Panel will enable you to create a new subdomain with no more than a couple of mouse clicks, to pick which folder it's going to access in the account, to enable FrontPage Extensions for it, to set up unique error pages, to set a shared or a dedicated IP address if you have one, and much more. For your convenience, all subdomains will be listed under their root domain, so that you can very easily see and handle them. With instant access links, you'll be able to open the site files for any one of the subdomains that you have or view its DNS records.
