A subdomain is part of a web address which is under the main domain, for example name.example.com. From a technical perspective, even in www.example.com the "www" part is a subdomain because the fully qualified domain name is only "example.com". Each subdomain could have its own web site and records and can even be hosted using a different provider if you want to use a certain feature which isn't provided by your current provider. An illustration for using a subdomain is if you have a company website as well as an online store under a subdomain where clients can buy your products. You can also have a forum in which they can discuss the products and by employing subdomains as an alternative to subfolders you'll avoid any probability of all websites going down when you perform maintenance, or update one of the site scripts. Keeping your sites separated is also more secure in case of a script security breach.

Subdomains in Shared Website Hosting

Each shared website hosting plan we provide will permit you to create numerous subdomains with no more than a few mouse clicks within your hosting CP. They are going to be listed in the section where you create them and grouped under the main domain for more convenience, so that you can effortlessly keep track of every one of them. Additionally, you can access a lot of functions for any one of the subdomains using right-click context menus - for instance, you can view or modify their DNS records, access the website files, and a lot more. While creating a new subdomain, you'll also have many options that you can select from - specify the default access folder, set unique error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions or decide if the subdomain is going to use a shared or a dedicated IP address. How many subdomains you'll have is totally up to you as we haven't limited this feature for any of our plans.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Hosting

You’ll be able to create as many subdomains as you would like with any of our Linux semi-dedicated hosting services as we have not set an upper limit for this feature. The Hepsia website hosting Control Panel will allow you to add a new subdomain with only a few mouse clicks and you'll be able to access a number of advanced features during the process - modify the default access folder, choose the IP address the subdomain will use from the shared and dedicated ones that are offered in your account, activate FrontPage Extensions, add an SSL certificate, and much more. Even if you create a great number of subdomains, you'll be able to keep track of all of them with ease since they are going to be listed in alphabetical order below their main domain. For any of them, you can also access the web site files or see logs and usage stats through quick access buttons.
