A subdomain is a part of a web address which is under the main domain name, such as name.example.com. Technically, even in www.example.com the "www" element is a subdomain since the fully qualified domain name is only "example.com". Every subdomain can have its own website and records and can also be hosted through a different provider if you wish to use a specific feature which is not offered by your current service provider. A good example for using a subdomain is if you have a company site and an online store under a subdomain where clients can purchase your products. You can even have a forum where they can comment on the products and by employing subdomains as an alternative to subfolders you will avoid any risk of all websites going down if you perform maintenance, or update one of the website scripts. Keeping the websites separated is also more secure in the event of a script security breach.

Subdomains in Cloud Hosting

Each cloud hosting plan we offer will enable you to create numerous subdomains with no more than a couple of mouse clicks within your website hosting CP. They are going to be listed in the area in which you create them and grouped under the main domain for more convenience, to help you easily keep an eye on them all. Additionally, you can access many functions for any one of the subdomains via right-click context menus - for instance, you can view or change their DNS records, access the website files, and a lot more. While creating a new subdomain, you are also going to have many options that you can pick from - define the default access folder, create customized error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions or choose if the subdomain is going to use a shared or a dedicated IP address. The amount of subdomains you'll have is entirely up to you as we have not restricted this feature for any one of our packages.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Our Linux semi-dedicated hosting packages do not have a limit for the number of subdomains which you can create. Adding a new subdomain inside the account takes only a few clicks inside the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel and during the process you can choose the folder the subdomain will access if it will 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 easily jump to the website files for it inside the File Manager section by using instant access buttons. All subdomains that you have in the account will be conveniently listed under their root domain, so you're going to be able to find and control any one of them easily.
