A subdomain is part of a web address which is under the main domain name, for instance name.example.com. Technically, even in www.example.com the "www" part is a subdomain given that the fully qualified domain name is just "example.com". Every subdomain could have its own web site and records and can even be hosted using a different company if you want to use some feature that isn't offered by your current provider. An example for using a subdomain is if you have a company website and an online store under a subdomain where customers can purchase your products. In addition, you can have a forum where they can talk about the products and by using subdomains instead of subfolders you'll avoid any chance of all websites going down if you perform maintenance, or update one of the website scripts. Keeping your websites separated is also less risky in the event of a script security breach.

Subdomains in Web Hosting

Every web hosting plan we supply will enable you to create hundreds of subdomains with no more than a few mouse clicks inside your website hosting Control Panel. They are going to be listed in the section where you create them and arranged under the main domain for more convenience, so that you're able to effortlessly monitor all of them. Additionally, you can access many functions for any of the subdomains through right-click context menus - as an example, you can view or change their DNS records, access the website files, and much more. While creating a new subdomain, you will also have a number of options that you can pick from - specify the default access folder, set customized error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions or decide if the subdomain will use a shared or a dedicated IP address. How many subdomains you will have is 100 % up to you since we have not restricted this feature for any of our plans.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers

Our semi-dedicated plans haven't got a set limit for the number of subdomains you can create. Adding a new subdomain within the account takes only a few clicks in the Hepsia website hosting Control Panel and throughout the process you can pick the folder the subdomain is going to access if it is going to be different from the default one, set up custom-made error pages, enable FrontPage Extensions if you need them or set a dedicated IP address as opposed to the shared server one in case you have added such an upgrade to your semi-dedicated account. As soon as the subdomain is created, you'll be able to access logs and visitor stats or you can quickly jump to the website files for it within the File Manager section through fast access buttons. All subdomains that you have within the account will be conveniently listed under their root domain, so you're going to be able to find and manage any one of them easily.
