A subdomain is a website url, which is under a main, or a root domain name. One 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 using the domain name as a part of the whole web address, a subdomain can be fully independent and even hosted by a different provider. Using a subdomain could be very useful if you wish to have different websites that are related in some way. For instance, you could have a web-based 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 opinions about your products. The benefit of employing a subdomain rather than a subfolder is that the sites will be separated, so you are able to update one of them or perform maintenance without affecting the other.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Hosting
Our Linux semi-dedicated packages do not have a set limit for the amount of subdomains you can create. Adding a new subdomain within the account takes only a couple of mouse clicks within the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel and in the process you can pick the folder the subdomain will access if it will be different from the default one, create customized error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions if you need them or create a dedicated IP address instead of the shared server one provided you have added such an upgrade to your semi-dedicated account. Once the subdomain is created, you will be able to access logs and visitor stats or swiftly jump to the website files for it inside the File Manager area using fast access buttons. All subdomains that you have within the account are going to be conveniently listed under their root domain, so you are going to be able to find and control any of them with ease.
