A subdomain is a part of a web address that is under the main domain, such as name.example.com. From a technical perspective, even in www.example.com the "www" part is a subdomain since the fully qualified domain name is only "example.com". Each subdomain can have its own web site and records and can also be hosted with a different provider if you need to use a specific feature that isn't offered by your current service provider. An example for using a subdomain is if you have a business site as well as an online store under a subdomain where clients can buy your products. Additionally, you can have a forum in which they can discuss the products and by employing subdomains instead of subfolders you will avoid any risk of all websites going down when you perform maintenance, or update one of the website scripts. Keeping your websites separated is also more secure in case there is a script security breach.

Subdomains in Hosting

When you acquire a hosting plan from us, you are going to be able to create subdomains with ease via your Hepsia website hosting Control Panel. We've decided not to limit their amount, so even when you host just one domain name in the account, you're going to be able to create as many subdomains as you would like and have a different site for every single one. During the creation of a subdomain, you'll be able to select the folder within the account that it'll open, set up customized error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions and error logs, select a server shared IP address or a dedicated one if you have such, plus much more. All hosted domains and the subdomains you create for them will be conveniently listed in alphabetical order in one place and you'll be able to gain access to a lot of functions for each one of them with right-click context menus - records, files, etc.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Hosting

When you acquire a semi-dedicated server package, you are going to be able to create as many subdomains as you'd like since this feature is unrestricted. For the reason that the hosting plans are very powerful, we have decided not to put any restriction on the number of subdomains. Our advanced Hepsia CP will allow you to create a new subdomain with no more than a few mouse clicks, to choose which folder it's going to access within the account, to activate FrontPage Extensions for it, to set up unique error pages, to set a shared or a dedicated IP address if you have one, and more. To make it easier for you, all the subdomains will be listed under their root domain, so that you can effortlessly see and control them. Using instant access links, you'll be able to open the website files for each of the subdomains that you have or check out its DNS records.
